558 PROCEEDINGS OF SECTION F. 



falls on Saturday represented by V, the first Sunday in 

 January falls on the 2nd. And so on, till we reach column 1, 

 when 1st January falls on Monday, represented by C, and 

 the first Sunday in January falls on the 7th, when C is found 

 seven places removed. 



As January and October are similar months, we may add 

 October to this row and pass on to February. 1st February 

 in Table A falls on a Sunday, under column 4, and when 

 1st January falls on Thursday ; therefore we place February, 

 March, November, similar months, opposite P, the letter for 

 Thursday. 1st April falls on a Sunday under column 1, 

 when 1st January falls on a Monday, and we place April 

 and July opposite C. In this way we may complete the 

 m(mths. 



In conclusion, I wish to point out the fact you may not 

 yet have noticed, that everything in the Luneral is in order; 

 the letters are in alphabetical order, whichever way they are 

 read, the units and centuries in numerical order; so are the 

 tens, if we repeat the letters, and give two to Leap Years 

 and one to ordinary years. The months are found in their 

 proper order if we repeat the letters seven times, and give 

 four letters to each month of 31 days, and five to each of 30 

 days, omitting February. This just occupies every letter 

 in the square but one, and the circle of time is therefore 

 squared ! 



I have been able in the time to set before you the method 

 of the Luneral and a means of arriving with ease at its 

 accuracy, and I have shown how anyone who wishes may 

 draw it up for himself. This is all ; but if anyone will employ 

 the means, and in case of finding an inaccuracy, will kindly 

 inform me of it, I shall feel obhged for the information. In 

 the event of its i)eing found accurate, I think for its simplicity 

 the Luneral should be given greater reliance than history, 

 which is frequently inaccurate, especially in the matter of 

 weekday dates.
