The latest fad of critics, the New

that it is absurd for Europeans and
Americans of today to dedicate one
sixth of the year to the memory of
julius Caesar and Augustus, to name
a third after heather gods and god
desses, to have two months Of doubt
full nomenclature, and to designate the
remaining four by misleading numer-
icals, September being obviously ninth
