CHRONOLOGICAL TABLE. To find whether any year be a leap year or not. Rule 1. Divide the given year by 4. If nothing remains, then it is leap year but if any number remains, it is just so many years after leap year. Example. I desire to know if 1826 be a leap year or not. 4)1826 456 2 years after leap year. To find the Dominical or Sunday letter. Rule 2. To the given year add its fourth part, omitting fractions; divide the sum by 7, and if there be no remainder, A is the sunday letter, but if any number remains, then the letter standing under that number is the dominical letter, and the day of the week on which the year commences. Example. Require the dominical letter for 1826. Answer. Note. A leap year has two dominical letters, the first letter stands for January and February, and the second letter stands for March and the rest of the months, because February has in a leap year twenty-nine days. In 1828, F and E will be the Sunday letter. To find on what day of the week any proposed day of the month A will be the Sunday letter for. 1826. will fall on. Rule 3. Having found the dominical letter as above, the day of the week on which the month begins will be known by the following: 1 January, 2 February, 3 March, 4 April, 5 May, 6 June, Dame Great By Estate, A · Devout And Dreary Fate. Good Christian Fame 7 July, 8 August, 9 September, 10 October, 11 November, 12 Dec. The first letter of each word answers to the letter of the first day of the month, from January to December. Example. What day of the week does the 30th day of May, 1826 fall on? The dominical letter for that year is A. The first day of May by the verse is B. A Sunday, B Monday, Monday 1st, Monday 8th, Monday 15th, Monday 22d, Monday 29th, and Tuesday 30th. The 30th of May 1826 falls on Tuesday. 42 A. A. S. Fellow of the Fr. France, or Fran- Nov.

United States SIX TABLES OF CORRECT AND CORRUPT PRONUNCIATION The author has written the following six tables, pointing out the polite and the vulgar pronunciation of the words which they contain, in order to have them universally corrected, at least in the rising generation. He is happy to admit that Mr. Walker's Dictionary has remedied false orthoepy to a certain degree; but circumstances warrant him in asserting, that it will require powerfu and steady efforts by the friends of literature to accomplish and firmly establish an entire reformation in that respect. As the vernacular errors of any tongue are mostly of long standing, it is not easy to eradicate them, and introduce real improvements in their place. However, were ladies and gentlemen who preside over places of education to exercise their pupils in these tables, and impress on their tender minds this principle, that the one mode of orthoepy is elegant and polite, the other barbarous and vulgar, the author feels pretty confident that it would eventually produce that uniform pronunciation, so much desired by the cultivators of our language. This is a favour the author presumes would follow from a careful inspection of his columns, and a consequent conviction of their fitness to produce the laudable object to which he solicits the attention of teachers. |
