The calculator was Abraham Shoemaker. The calculations and astronomical notes on the calendar pages are identical with those in The New Jersey and Pennsylvania almanac for 1801 (Trenton), by Shoemaker. There are fewer columns of calculations, and different notes for the length of day. Shoemaker's eclipse predictions are repeated on p. [28]
