Notes:

Hutchins died in 1782, and the calculator of the present almanac is Andrew Beers. The calculations in the ephemeris and for the moon's rising and setting are identical with those in his Beers's almanac and ephemeris for 1794, published at Hartford. The other columns of calculations vary to a degree reflecting the difference in meridian between Hartford and New York. The astronomical and horological notes in Hutchins correspond to those in Beers, omitting a few, and with some slight differences in the times given.

The Anatomy is the only illustration.
