SHROVE TUESDAY regulates most of the moveable feasts. _Shrove Tuesday_ itself is the next after the first new moon in the month of February. If such new moon should happen on a Tuesday, the next Tuesday following is Shrove Tuesday. A recently published volume furnishes a list, the introduction of which on the next page puts the reader in possession of serviceable knowledge on this point, and affords an opportunity for affirming, that Mr. Nicolas’s book contains a variety of correct and valuable information not elsewhere in a collected form:-- MOVEABLE FEASTS FROM “_Tables, Calendars, &c. for the use of Historians, Antiquaries, and the Legal Profession, by N.
