| General note | All the calculations, astronomical notes, and weather predictions on the calendar pages are identical with those in Hutchins improved for 1797. The notes also duplicate almost entirely those in Greenleaf's New York, Connecticut, and New Jersey almanack for this year. Both of these almanacs were calculated by Andrew Beers, though without his name on the title pages. The notes are identical also with those in his Beers's almanac and ephemeris for 1797, published at Hartford, and in Stoddard's diary or The Columbian almanack for 1797 (Hudson, N.Y.), also issued with Beers' name as calculator. |
| General note | Evans attributes this issue of Webster's calendar, as he does nearly all almanacs published under the Bickerstaff pseudonym, to Benjamin West. The attribution is traditional, but the majority of these almanacs can be shown to have been the work of other calculators. |
| General note | Advertised in the Albany gazette, Dec. 2, 1796. |
