Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal Part II (New Series) August 1841

1841

In using the Table the first thing is to adjust the second card with its proper century to the zero on the outer card ; thus for 1841 New Style the full century being 18 the division containing the N. S. 18 on the second card is to be brought opposite that division on the outer card which contains the double zero (00). [...] The odd year 41 of the century being found on the outer card the divisionk containing it is that by which the months are to be adjusted throughout the year : the division containing the given month being brought opposite that of the 41 the days of the month will be opposite their proper week-days. [...] In making the monthly adjustment hold the outer card between the fore-finger and thumb the division containing the odd year of the century being to the front then putting the thumb of the other hand over the centre on the face and the forefinger at the back turn about the central card till the proper month division comes opposite that of the oda year. [...] The hundreds or full centuries " do not commence with the day of the week over which they stand but with the day to the left; consequently although the full-century-divsion is shifted the week-day commencing the next century or the year 1 falls in the right place under the division containing year 1. 24. [...] had done eleven days should be left out of the month of September ; accordingly on the second day of that month the Old Style ceased and the next day instead of being the third was called the fourteenth; and by the same act the beginning of the year was changed from the 25th of March to the 1st of January."
