Abstract
THE last great alteration in the calendar was that which was known as the Gregorian Reformation. It was promulgated in 1582, and at once accepted in all countries which were under the Roman obedience in ecclesiastical matters, but only gradually adopted by those belonging to the Reformed Western Church (which are all usually called Protestant, though that term strictly pertains to the Lutherans only), whilst the Eastern Church adheres still to the old Julian style.
