- Notes:
-
- "Abraham Weatherwise" is a common pseudonym in almanacs.
- The calculations on the calendar pages duplicate those in The almanack of Poor Richard the Second for 1802 (Shaw & Shoemaker 46), whose author was apparently its publisher, Andrew Newell. Most of the astronomical and meteorological notes on the same pages in Poor Richard have been replaced in Weatherwise by aphorisms.
- The eclipse predictions on p. [2] duplicate those on p. [15] of two of the three variant issues of Poor Richard. (In the third variant, the date of the moon's first eclipse is changed from March 18 to March 19, with notes and calculations added on its visibility and phases.)
