In comparison with Strong's An astronomical diary, calendar, or almanack for 1798, the eclipse predictions (p. [2]) and the astronomical notes on the calendar pages are identical, and the calendar page calculations are identical for the most part, with variations occasioned by the difference in meridian between New Haven and Hartford. "Stafford" includes Strong's characteristic page entitled "Variation of sun and clock."
The Anatomy is the only illustration.
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.
