Notes:

Except for the title, this issue of Poor Robin is identical throughout in contents and typography with the New Jersey almanac and the Washington almanac for 1819, both printed by Dickinson.

The calculations and notes on the calendar pages, together with the preceding eclipse predictions, duplicate those in Bailey's Rittenhouse almanac for 1819 (Philadelphia: Lydia Bailey), calculated by Joshua Sharp. In all the other 1819 Philadelphia almanacs bearing Sharp's name, the astronomical portions are offprints from Bailey's. Sharp is named as calculator on all subsequent issues of Poor Robin as well as most earlier ones from 1798.

Title vignette, signed M. (William Mason). The Anatomy is the only other illustration.
