Notes:

Two states noted. State 1 has the phrase "adapted to town and country" at end of subtitle. In State 2 this phrase has been omitted, the preceding matter ending with a comma. The contents of p. [17]-[36] differ in the two states.

Except for the title, state 1 is identical throughout in contents and typography with Poor Robin's almanac and The New Jersey 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), calculated by Joshua Sharp. In all the other 1819 Philadelphia almanacs bearing Sharp's name, the astronomical portions are offprints from Bailey's.

Title vignette. The Anatomy is the only other illustration.
