Notes From AAS: Except for changes in the title page, the almanac is an offprint from Cochran's Pennsylvania almanac for 1813, by Sharp, printed at Philadelphia by Ann Cochran.
This is almost certainly Drake 5298, Shaw 51252, the almanac with a mutilated title page identified in a pencilled inscription as Stewart's Washington almanac for 1813. Its contents are identical throughout, and it has the same title vignette, a sheaf of wheat, and correctly gives Joshua Sharp as its calculator. The intact Stewart's Washington almanac (Drake 5298, Shaw 26807) varies in content and has a different vignette. It has the same calendar pages and eclipse predictions, but falsely names Abraham Shoemaker as its calculator on the title page.
Stewart also published Stewart's Columbian almanac for 1813, which is another offprint from Cochran's Pennsylvania, with Andrew Beers named on the title page. The false attributions to the well-known calculators Shoemaker and Beers were intended to widen sales. The calculations and astronomical notes in these almanacs duplicate those in Sharp's several other almanacs published in Pennsylvania and New Jersey for 1813.
