Notes From AAS: Except for variations in the title page, this almanac is identical throughout in contents and typography with Stewart's Columbian almanac for 1815, "by Andrew Bears" [i.e. Beers] (Trenton: Printed for Robert Stewart), Stewart's East and West Jersey almanac for 1815, by Joshua Sharp (Philadelphia: Printed by Ann Coles for Robert Stewart), and The Pennsylvania almanac for 1815, by Joshua Sharp (Philadelphia: Printed by Ann Coles).
All the 1815 Stewart almanacs are offprints from Ann Coles' Pennsylvania almanac, and are in fact by Joshua Sharp. The calculations and astronomical notes on the calendar pages, and the eclipse predictions except for two misprints, are identical with those in Johnson and Warner's almanac for 1815, by Sharp (Philadelphia). The false attributions to the additional well-known calculators Shoemaker and Beers were intended to widen sales.
Signatures: [A]² B-E⁶⁻⁴ F².
