This table shows the date of the first 

 Sunday in any month of any given year, 

 from the year of our Lord till a fresh 

 alteration is made in the calendai'.* 



In the right hand column are found 

 the months of the year, and all the 

 letters in the square stand for Sundays. 

 Find the letter for the given year by 

 the numbers which stand round the 

 letters — see Rule, — and find the same 

 letter oi^posite the given month : the 

 number of places this letter is removed 

 from the given month indicates the day 

 of that month on which the first Sunday 

 falls, that is to say, the date of the first 

 Sunday. For example, if the letter for 

 the given year were found to be G-, the 

 first Sunday in May of that year would 

 fall on the 4th, as G is found opposite 

 that month four places removed ; in 

 January and October the first Sunday 

 would fall on the 5th ; in April and 



July on the 6th ; in September and December on the 7th ; in June on the 1st; 

 in February, March, and November, on the 2nd ; and in August on the 3rd. 

 The sign "°" signifies Leap Year: and after February in Leap Year, the 

 next letter to the right of that found for the year must be used for the rest of 

 that year. 



Rule. 



To find the Letter for any given Year. 

 Note. — Divide the given year into centuries, tens, and units, as 1015=rlG 

 centuries, 1 ten = 10, 6 units: and find the centuries under Cj t the tens 

 opposite TENS; and the units opposite UNITS. 



*The calendar was altered in 1752 by the omission of eleven daj-s, viz., from Thursday, 

 3rd September, till Sunday, 13th, inclusive ; and by making no other ceuturial years Leap 

 Year than those which are divisible by 400. 



t to under C means before the alteration hi the calendar, a after.
