"William Meanwell" is a pseudonym. The actual calculator is apparently Andrew Beers. The astronomical and horological notes on the calendar pages duplicate those in Loudon's almanack and ephemeris for 1786, by Beers (New York), except that they are far more numerous in Loudon's. The calculations for the sun and moon are identical except for a few of those in February aand March.

The Anatomy is the only illustration.
