Notes:

Hutchins died in 1782, and the calculator of the present almanac is Andrew Beers. The eclipse predictions (slightly lengthened), the astronomical and horological notes on the calendar pages (with a few omissions), and the calculationms for the rising and setting of the moon, are identical with those in his Beers's almanac for 1799, published at Hartford. The other calculations vary to a degree reflecting the difference in meridian between Hartford and New York. An advertisement for Beers's surveying business appears on p. [34].

Two states of gathering E noted, with E3 verso and E4 containing different texts. In one, E3 verso begins: Courts in the state of New-York. In the other, E3 verso begins with the text: Some ancient philosophers have said ..

The Anatomy is the only illustration.
