- Notes:
- Includes an almanac, ruled pages for memoranda and accounts, and a literary miscellany.
- The calculations and astronomical notes on the calendar pages duplicate those in Bailey's Rittenhouse almanac for 1813 (Philadelphia), calculated by William Collom, and in his other Philadelphia almanacs for this year. There are of course fewer columns in the smaller calendar pages of the present almanac. Collom's eclipse predictions appear to have been slightly revised for The American lady's pocket book.
