| General note | Evidently by Osgood Carleton. The calculations of the calendar pages are identical with the corresponding columns among those in Carleton's almanack for 1795 (Boston: T. Hall), which devotes two pages to each month. The astronomical notes on the same pages correspond to those in Carleton's almanac, except that the latter has more of them and with frequent slight differences in the calculations here. The calculations in the eclipse predictions are identical. |
| General note | Identical in typography and contents, except for the title page, with The Franklin almanack for 1795, published at Boston with the imprint of Joseph Bumstead. Still another printing was issued as Weatherwise's almanack for 1795, with the "booksellers" imprint. All three almanacs have an advertisement by Bumstead on the last page. |
