Home Page for Calendar Reform Poor Richard's Improved KIND READER, Since the King and Parliament have thought fit to alter our Year, by taking eleven Days out of September , 1752, and directing us to begin our Account for the future on the First of January , some Account of the Changes the Year hath heretofore undergone, and the Reasons of them, may a little gratify thy Curiosity. The Vicissitude of Seasons seems to have given Occasion to the first Institution of the Year . Man naturally curious to know the Cause of that Diversity, soon found it was the Nearness and Distance of the Sun; and upon this, gave the Name Year to the Space of Time wherein that Luminary, performing his whole Course, returned to the same Point of his Orbit. And hence, as it was on Account of the Seasons, in a great Measure, that the Year was instituted, their chief Regard and Attention was, that the same Parts of the Year should always correspond to the same Seasons; i. e. that the Beginning of the Year should always be when the Sun was in the same Point of his Orbit; and that they should keep Pace, come round, and end together.
