602 Notes on Capt. Shortrede's Scheme. [No. 116. 



13. Now follows the Table (marked 4), exhibiting all the current years 

 of a century that begin with the same day of the week. The primary 

 arrangement is for the current years of the 1st century beginning with 

 year 1. Underneath this, the letters denoting the days of the week are 

 so arranged as to shew how the superincumbent columns of years begin 

 in the other centuries in succession ; an arrangement which will be 

 quite intelligible by attending to Art. 10.

 first column of years will begin with that day, the other columns with the 

 next day in succession. Table (3) shews how the centuries com- 

 mence ; and when this is known, Table (4) will readily shew how the 

 years commence. 



15. These columns of years are arranged in Capt. Shortrede's scheme 

 in a circular order, and occupy the seven divisions of the outer card, in
