- Notes:
- Pages [2-13], containing the calendar pages and other astronomical matter, as well as pages [27-36], are offprints from Father Abraham's almanac for 1809, calculated by Joshua Sharp, printed at Philadelphia by Peter Stewart.
- The almanacs are in fact by Sharp. The calculations and astronomical notes on the calendar pages, together with the eclipse predictions, duplicate those in Johnson's almanac for 1809 (Philadelphia), calculated by Sharp, except that the Stewart calendars contain a few more notes and an ephemeris, while Johnson's includes a column of time equations. The false attribution to Beers, another well-known calculator, was intended to widen sales of the Stewart almanacs.
