| General note | Evans gives the printer as William Bradford of New York. The cut of the Anatomy (Reilly 1784), however, is not that used in the almanacs issued by Bradford, but is identical with that found in the almanacs printed by Bartholomew Green at Boston through 1723. Travis' almanacs from 1716 on have Green's imprint, as does that for 1707. |
| General note | Holyoke, in his 1713 almanac, criticizes the present Travis almanac for the same year and refers to its author as "he that is counted by the ignorant people to have such a mighty knack for figure slinging, witchery & conjuration." |
| General note | The Anatomy is the only illustration. |
