(whence our word ca!endar) or FIRST days
Of the month, were reckoned back wv ards
to the ides. thus, the first day of March
was the first calend; the 28th Of February
was the second calend Of March; February
9th the third. and SO on.
The Julian year, which by this rule was
reckoned at 365 days and hours, was
found not to be accurate. but to exceed
the length Of the solar year 10y l minutes.
which, in ISL years, amount to an entire
dav. 1t was therefore corrected by Pope
Gregory, in 1882, who rctrenched | days
from the Julian computation-being its
excess or gain over the solar time Out
Of this correction grew this distinction
between the old and new style. The

greater accuracy, make only one leap year
out "f every four centenary years. that is
the years 100 and 1900 were not leap
