   7. (Chron.) A mode of reckoning time, with regard to the

      [1913 Webster]

   Note: Style is Old or New. The Old Style follows the Julian
         manner of computing the months and days, or the
         calendar as established by Julius Caesar, in which
         every fourth year consists of 366 days, and the other
         years of 365 days. This is about 11 minutes in a year
         too much. Pope Georgy XIII. reformed the calendar by
         retrenching 10 days in October, 1582, in order to bring
         back the vernal equinox to the same day as at the time
         of the Council of Nice, a. d. 325. This reformation was
         adopted by act of the British Parliament in 1751, by
         which act 11 days in September, 1752, were retrenched,
         and the third day was reckoned the fourteenth. This
         mode of reckoning is called New Style, according to
         which every year divisible by 4, unless it is divisible
         by 100 without being divisible by 400, has 366 days,
         and any other year 365 days.
         [1913 Webster]
