Notes:

By Joshua Sharp. The calculations on the calendar pages are identical with those in the Philadelphia almanacs for 1812 naming Sharp as their calculator, except for the time equations. The column for the moon's southing is omitted. The astronomical notes in the third column are also identical, with a few additions and omissions, and the preceding page of eclipse duplications is duplicated in the Sharp almanacs as well.

Some of these almanacs lack the column of time equations found in Father Tammany's. Bennett & Walton's, and the United States calendar have this column, but the calculations in it for each month are different from those in Father Tmmany's. The calendar pages in these three almanacs are all printed from the same setting of type.

Title vignette. The Anatomy is the only other illustration.
