These Epacts, on being re-arranged, in Table D, as the Gregorian were, produce a like 

 symmetry in the column of Numbers 5, 36, 35, 34, from which they are to be deducted, 

 and these numbers differ throughout, by exactly 8, from those which occupy the Gregorian 

 column. The Golden Numbers, too, beginning with 16 and ending with 8, advance 

 regularly by 8, rejecting 19 whenever the addition of 8 to the preceding G olden Number 

 would make the next exceed 19: or, what comes to the same thing, entering line c in 

 Table II., (Encyclop. Brit., Art. "Calendar,") and beginning at Epact 15, proceed always 

 from the left to the right, as in a circle, with intervals of 8 places, leaping backwards 

 from the end to the beginning of the line as often as may be necessary, and the whole of 

 the succeeding Julian Epacts, which I have just presented, down to 17, will come regu- 

 larly into view. The unit's figure of each Epact, except 29, is one behind the unit's 

 figure of each Golden number, thus exemplifying a passing observation made at page
