Calendar; Jewish calendar

The reason of this is, the day intercalated, or thrust in, between the
28th day of February and the 1st day of March so interrupts the order of
the letters that D, which always represents the 1st day of March, now
represents the 29th day of February, so that in 1892 it represents Monday,
the 29th day of February, also Tuesday the 1st day of March. As it
represented all the Mondays in January and February, it will now represent
all the Tuesdays for the rest of the year, while C, the letter preceding,
represented all the Sundays, will now represent all the Mondays, and B all
the Sundays. For January and February we have then C, Sunday; D, Monday;
E, Tuesday; F, Wednesday; G, Thursday; A, Friday, and B, Saturday. For the
rest of the year we have B, Sunday; C, Monday; D, Tuesday; E, Wednesday;
F, Thursday; G, Friday, and A, Saturday. See Part Second, chapters IV and
V.
