Notes:
All calculations in the columns of the calendar pages are identical with those in Houghton's genuine almanac for 1812, "astronomical part by Asa Houghton" (Shaw & Shoemaker 23052), with the exception of the ephemeris, the moon's phases, and the January times for high water and the moon's southing.
The almanac is possibly the joint work of Asa Houghton and Gilbert Graves. See notes in the bibliographic record for the 1807 issue of Thomas's almanac (Shaw & Shoemaker 10621).
Advertised in the Massachusetts spy, Worcester, Oct. 23, 1811.
