What reading level is Our Calendar the Julian Calendar And Its Errors How Corrected By the Gregorian book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Now, as Columbus landed on Friday, October 21st, 1492, so Friday, October 21st, 1892, is the day of the month and also the da}^ of the week to be observed in commemoration of that event. We have then 1892^4=473 ; 1892+473=2365 ; 2365 H-7=:337, remainder 6. Then 8 — 6=2 ; therefore, B and C are dominical letters for 1892, C for January and February, and B for the rest of the year. Now, reading from B to A, the letter for October, we have B Sunday, C Monday, etc. Hence October will com- mence on ...Saturday and the 21st will be Friday.
Although there was an error of thirteen days in the Julian calendar when it was reformed by Gregory, in 1582, there was a correction made of onlj' ten days. There was still an error of three days from the time of Julius Caesar to the Council of Nice, which remained uncorrected. Gregory restored the vernal equinox to the 2 1 St of March, its date at the meeting of that council, not to the place it occupied in the time of 57 Ccesar, namely, the 24th of March.
