"Richard Saunders" is a pseudonym.
The calculator was William Waring. The calculations and astronomical notes on the calendar pages are identical with those in Poor Will's almanack for 1794 (Philadelphia), by Waring, except that the times for the sun are adjusted slightly for most months. There are fewer columns of calculations, and a few notes are omitted, with different notes for the length of day. Waring's eclipse predictions are repeated on p. [30].
Advertised in the Pennsylvania gazette, Philadelphia, Dec. 11, 1793.
The Anatomy is the only illustration.
