Stewart's Washington almanac, for the year of our Lord, 1808
Subtitle: ... Calculated for the meridian of New-Jersey
By: By Andrew Beers, philom. [i.e. Joshua Sharp]
Series: Early American imprints -- no. 13654
Publisher: Printed [by Peter Stewart] for Robert Stewart, travelling book-seller, Monmouth County, New-Jersey.
Published: 1807
Place of publication: Philadelphia
Language: eng
Number of pages: 36
Notes: Pages [2-13], containing the calendar pages and other astronomical matter, as well as signatures E-F, are offprints from The Pennsylvania, New-Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia almanac for 1808, calculated by Joshua Sharp, printed at Philadelphia by Peter Stewart. The tide table on the calendar pages is adjusted for New York.

The almanacs are in fact by Sharp. The calculations and astronomical notes on the calendar pages, together with the eclipse predictions, duplicate those in Johnson's almanac for 1808 (Philadelphia), calculated by Sharp, except that the Stewart calendars contain more notes and an ephemeris, while Johnson's includes a column of time equations. The false attribution to Beers, another well-known calculator, was intended to widen sales of the Stewart almanacs.
