Notes:

Calculated by Joshua Sharp. The calculations for the sun and moon, and the astronomical notes on the calendar pages, are identical with those in the Annual visiter for 1812 (Wilmington) and the New Jersey and Pennsylvania almanac for 1812 (Trenton), both by Sharp.

The Annual visiter also has the same weather predictions. It lacks the column of clock equations. The New Jersey and Pennsylvania almanac groups the clock equations on a separate page, and adds a column for the sun's declination.

The Washington almanack and the Alexandria almanack are presumably the "Almanacs for one thousand eight hundred and twelve, just published and for sale by Cottom and Stewart," advertised in the Alexandria Gazette for Sept. 30, 1811.

The Anatomy is the only illustration.
