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 Hosea Stafford.

The author's preface, the astronomical material on the calendar pages, and most of the calendar page calculations, are identical with those in the almanac of the same title published under Strong's name at Hartford for 1800. The partial variation in the calculations was occasioned by the difference in meridian between New Haven and Hartford. "Stafford" also includes Strong's characteristic page entitled "Variation of the sun and clock." - Advertised in the Connecticut journal, New Haven, Dec. 19, 1799.

The Anatomy is the only illustration.
