Notes: Except for the title page, the verses at the head of the calendar pages, and the prose matter facing these pages, the almanac is identical in content and typography with Dickson's balloon almanac (Lancaster) for the same year.

The astronomical portion is by Joshua Sharp. Most of the calculations and astronomical notes in the calendar and eclipse pages duplicate those in Father Tammany's almanac for 1799 (Philadelphia), calculated by Sharp. The calculations for the rising or setting and southing of the moon have been adjusted in part. The monthly ephemeris in Tammany is omitted in Dickson's, and the tide times are abbreviated.
