Remarks. — 1. The alteration of the style did not at all affect 

 the days of the week, from Sunday to Sunday; but the numeri-

2. The days of the month expunged from the old calendar 

 were eleven, 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8, 9. 10. 1 1. 12. 13. whose names, if 

 required, in computations of the old style continued, take their 

 succession inmieciiately from the 1st day of the month; thus, 

 i. Tuesday; 2. Wednesday; [3. Thursday; 4. Friday; 5. Sa- 

 turday; 6! Sunday; 7. Monday; 8. Tuesday; 9. Wednesday ; 

 10. Thursday; 11. Friday; 12. Saturday ; 'l3. Sunday ;] 14. 

 Monday, &c.

 would have happened on a Monday in the old style account ;

 concerned.
