Stewart's Washington almanac, for the year of our Lord, 1809
Subtitle: ... Calculated for the meridian of New-Jersey
By: By Andrew Beers, philom. [i.e. Joshua Sharp]
Series: Early American imprints -- no. 16255
Publisher: Printed [by Peter Stewart] for Robert Stewart, travelling book-seller.
Published: 1808
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 pages [27-36], are offprints from Father Abraham's almanac for 1809, calculated by Joshua Sharp, printed at Philadelphia by Peter Stewart.

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 1809 (Philadelphia), calculated by Sharp, except that the Stewart calendars contain a few 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.
