With regard to dates, it should be borne in mind that various changes have been made in the calendar in centuries gone by. The Julian Calendar of 12 months commenced in the year 46 B.C. on 1st January. The Gregorian Calendar, known as the New Style, came into effect in the year A.D. 1582, in which year the 4th of October was followed by the 15th of October. The Protestant nations, however, adopted the change much later. In England, for instance, it was only done in A.D. 1752, in which year the 2nd of September was followed by the 14th September, while at the same time the commencement of the legal year was changed from 25th March to the 1st January. In Scotland, however, the 1st of January was adopted for New Year's Day from A.D. 1600, according to an act of the Privy Council in December, 1599. (The original Roman Calendar, introduced in 738 B.C., consisted of 304 days and 10 months - hence the present day anomaly of December (derived from "Decem", meaning the 10th) being the 12th month.)
