- The calendar pages in this issue differ from those in another issue for 1815 whose expanded imprint adds the names of Lansingburgh and Geneva booksellers. The calculations and astronomical notes are the same, but in a different type setting. The weather predictions are differently worded, and the maxims in the last column are different altogether. Different verses appear at the head of the pages. In the other issue, more verses and a calculation of the length of day appear at the foot of the calendar pages, as is characteristic of the almanac for previous and subsequent years.
- The Anatomy is the only illustration.
- Page [48] contains packet, steamboat, and coaching schedules, and an advertisement by the booksellers G. & R. Waite. Pages [40-45] contain advertisements by Websters and Skinners.
