- Description:
-

- [36] p. : ill. ; 17 cm. (12mo)
- Series:
- Early American imprints. Series I, Evans (1639-1800); no. 44597.
- Notes:
-
- Identical in typography and contents, except for the title and imprint, with The Continental almanac for 1785, by Anthony Sharp, printed at Philadelphia by Francis Bailey. Clearly an offprint by Bailey for Kollock. The title vignette, the format of the calendar pages, and the general typographic style are those found throughout Bailey's continental almanac series.
- The name "Anthony Sharp" appears only in almanacs published by Bailey or his brother Jacob, and is presumably a pseudonym. The Continental almanac is attributed by Evans to David Rittenhouse. However, all the calculations and astronomical notes on the calendar pages, except the calculations for the sun, are those found in all the Philadelphia almanacs for this year: Poor Will's, Poor Richard improved, and (in a condensed format) the American almanac, as well as in the New Jersey almanack, published at Trenton.
- Advertised in the New York gazetteer, Dec. 14, 1784.
- Microform version available in the Readex Early American Imprints series.
