Notes:

The calendar pages, as well as p. [27-36], are identical in contents and typography with those in Cochran's Philadelphia almanac and Father Abraham's almanac for 1810, both naming Joshua Sharp as their calculator and printed at Philadelphia. R. Cochran is given as the printer of Cochran's, and Peter Stewart of Father Abraham's. Peter Stewart is also named as the printer of the Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland & Virginia almanac for 1810.

The calculations and astronomical notes on the calendar pages correspond to those in other 1813 almanacs by Joshua Sharp (Johnson's and Kite's) printed elsewhere in Philadelphia, except that Stewart's lacks the column of time equations and they lack the ephemeris. The false attribution to Beers, another well-known calculator, was intended to widen the sale of Stewart's almanacs.

Title vignette. The Anatomy is the only other illustration.
