Book of Indian Eras, with Tables for Calculating Indian Dates c22.17

c22.17

In using the general table of the initial days of the Hijra years, it is only necessary to remember that all the dates up to the beginning of A.D. 1753 are given in Julian reckoning or Old Style, and from that date in Gregorian reckoning or New Style. The week days of course remain unchanged, whichever reckoning is used. The correction of the calendar took place in Engalnd in A.D. 1752, when eleven days were struck out after the 2nd September, making the next day the 14th instead of the 3rd. This change occurred towards the end of the Hijra year 1165. In the table I have given the beginning of the year 1166 in the New Style as Wednesday the 8th November 1752. By the Old Style reckoning the date would have been Wednesday, 28th October.
