Abstract
First Paragraph:
Accustomed as we have been all our lives, and our fathers as well for many centuries, to give the month of February 28 days in common years and 29 days in leap years, what would we say to such a date as February 30, officially ordered as such by one of our modern enlightened and civilized nations? Yet, such was actually the fact in Sweden in 1712. The reader may be interested to know how it came about.
