Note

The title pages of Strong's almanacs for 1806 and 1807 published at New Haven identify Strong as the author of those formerly issued under the pseudonym of Stafford.

In comparison with Strong's An astronomical diary, calendar, or almanac for 1797 (Hartford), the eclipse calculations, the astronomical notes on the calendar pages, and most of the calendar page calculations are identical--the partial variations in the latter being occasioned by the difference in meridian between Hartford and New Haven. Strong's characteristic page entitled "Variation of sun and clock" is absent from this issue of "Stafford." - Advertised in the Connecticut journal, New Haven, Nov. 30, 1796.

The Anatomy is the only illustration.
