Notes:

Comparison with Father Tammany's and Poor Robin's almanacs for 1799, by Joshua Sharp, both published at Philadelphia by M'Culloch, shows Sharp to be the apparent calculator of the present title. A majority of the calculations and astronomical notes on the calendar pages, and those in the eclipse predictions, correspond. Some notes have been omitted and others added. Most of the calculations for the rising and setting of the sun, and part of those for the moon and tides and in the notes, have been adjusted slightly.

The Anatomy is the only illustration.
