Monday began 1888, Tuesday 1884, and Thursday 1885, and those days are the Keys of the respective years; 1886 will begin on Friday, 1887 on Saturday, and 1888 on Sunday, and those will be the Keys for those years, in the order named.

In common years (a common year is any year that is not a Leap Year, ) the same set of figures represents the first dates of Keys in the different months for all years in all centuries. For example, Sunday is the Key for 1882, there fore the following figures will represent the first dates of Sunday in the months named for 1882, or any other common year of which Sunday is the Key. The first date of Sunday in January, is lst; February, 5th;6 perpetual mental calendar. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
