Notes:
The calendar pages are identical in content and typography with those in three other Philadelphia almanacs for this year, all naming Joshua Sharp as their calculator: Bailey's Rittenhouse, Bennett & Walton's, and Warner's. In the Agricultural and Warner's almanacs they include seasonal illustrations, while in the others the corresponding space is occupied by sententious matter. They apparently were printed by Lydia R. Bailey, who is named as the printer of Bailey's Rittenhouse.
Some illustrations signed: A [i.e., Alexander Anderson].
