EXAMPLES.
June 8, 1845.—As 1845 is a standard year, there will be nothing to subtract. June is in the first square, therefore the first Sunday falls on the 1st. The second Sunday falls on seven days after the first, or the 8th; so June 8, 1845, falls on a Sunday.
March 20, 1836.—The nearest standard year to 1836 is 1834. 34 from 36 leaves 2 to be added to March 20, making it March 22. March is in the second square, and the first Sunday falls on the 2d—2, 9, 16, 23. If the 23d is Sunday, the 22d is one day before, or Saturday; so March 20, 1836, falls on Saturday.
