CHRONOLOGY.

In ansoer to late question IN this paper.
l,is we'll known that on September 3,
y1so the s,y,e was changed in England, by
\ nrev;ous act Of parliament, As the Julian
vear had then gained on the true solar year
.Jep.n DAYS, that day was called the l4th.
Q. Those of the Society OF Friends VINO
lived in ISL. and others who have been
stree allowed to learn, know, that there was
No etoyenih nor twelfth month a, its close
The last day of it was 81 of tenth month.
On February 90, 1900, the style was
agsin changed: the day was called Mar l.
NOW making t7ssFvs days difference IN what
are called old anil new styles.
a. The true year, according to SIR Isaac
Newton, consists of 365d Oh. 5Sm. 57s. g.
but the year of account consists OF 3o5d' On.
The true year, therefore, is short OF the civil
wear by lin. SIS. nearly. To recniy this
error, which accumulates to day in about
Ise wears. tn following plan of altering The
style was ordered by Pope Gregory XIII. al
though il still leaves an error of one day IN
72 centuries.
s. Every centurral year, the first two H.
vures of viii, are exactly divisible by 4, Is
a leap year, and all others are not. Thus
1900 was not-l900 will not be leap year,
but 5000 will.
6 Twas the custom, previously 10 the year
1859, 10 add double date to the year be-
tween December 81 and March e5: as March
was anciently the first month, and in zone case
would be in one year, and in another, ano-
tber. Thus what was called II mo. Is,
1888. 40. would be January Is, TAO, agree
ably to the style OF that year.
From these premises, we think the follow
ing effects inevitably ensue.
!. Every man now living, who was born
previously TO September 3, 1852, had the
anniversary Of his birth then changed ii
DAYS, aud on March /, 1900, twelve days
later. Hence man who was born on 3 mo.
6, i749, hal the return of his birth day on
November IL, until 1900 : in that and sub
sequent years it was November Is.
@ The tr..o anHiSSrsaryr er 49, - 49,
jllustrious Washington, is now on February
s3. aud no, un the a2d, Because he was born
on February IL, 1879.
8. The true anniversary of American inde-
pendehce is now on July 5.
4. Christmas aud other feasts OF the church,
which are considered fixed. are in fact move
able They moved II days in 1853, and ano-
;her day ir 1900 In 1909 they will move
another. in 2lOO another, and 50 on.
s. People who are now 60 years OF age, or
upw ards, had their birth days changed enc
day later after February &c, 1900.
6. Those of the Society of Friends who
wish to calculate their years correctly, mu't
now add two months and twelve days to their
mode of appellation, in all cases OF birth
previously TO mo. !, 1852.
Thus mo 4, 1856, or April 4, being birth
day,
Add mo. f2,
