| General note | "Isaac Bickerstaff" is a common pseudonym in almanacs. |
| General note | "The publisher begs leave to observe, that, owing to the incorrectness of the copy, several errors escaped seasonable observation in the calender pages of last year's almanack. The present having been calculated, with much care, by a gentleman of this town, and the whole carefully revised and examined by him, is, he will venture to say, as correct as publications of this kind generally are."--p. [2]. |
