Old and NEW style Calendar.

Under what is called the old style
the Julian calendar assumed the length
of the solar year to be 1904 days,
whereas it was eleven minutes and a
few seconds less. This annual error
accumulated as years rolled on and be-
gan to be fully recognized about the
beginning of the sixteenth century.
The Gregorian calendar or new style
of writing dates, was first introduced
in the year 1852, and ten days We're
then struck out of the calendar. 9th
er regulations were also made-name-
ly, that one day more should be drop
ped in each hundredth year which was
not fourth hundredth after 1882. In
England the old style was directed to
be discontinued and the new style in
PRODUCED in the year 1852.
The change of style was effected in
the following manner in September,
1852: Eleven days being the difference
between dates written according to the
two styles, old and new, the day after
Wednesday, Sept. 2, 1852, was called
Thursday. Sept. IA, 1852. emitting the
Sd to the 18th, both inclusive. A care
full reading of the article Oh "Calen-
dar" In any encyclopedia will assist
the reader and student to fair COM
prehension of the old style and new
style differences and why.
