TABLE I. 



And near it the rule for its use, as follows : 



" To find the Dominical or Sunday Letter for any 3'ear of 

 our Lord add to the j^ear its fourth part, omitting fractions, 

 and also the number which in Table I standeth at the top of 

 the column wherein the number of hundreds contained in 

 the given year is found ; divide the sum by seven, and if there 

 be no remainder then A is the Sunday Letter, but if anj' num- 

 ber remain then the letter which standeth under that number 

 at the top of the Table is the Sunday Letter. 



Note : that in all bissextile or Leap years the letter found as 

 above will be the Sunday Letter from the ist day of March, 

 inclusive, to the end of the year." 



We back at the reformation of the calendar two places, 

 from C to A. This has precisely the effect that would be pro- 

 duced by adding two to the sum of the given year and a quar- 

 ter of the same before dividing by seven. Add two, as per 

 table and rule, in the sixteen hundreds, proceed as set forth, 

 and with the remainder begin with A and back. The table is so 

 devised that this gives the same result as looking for the remain- 

 der in the top line and taking the letter that stands beneath.
