ABSTRACT A RULE was lately mentioned to me by a friend for finding, almost by inspection, the day of the week for any given year and day of any month in that year, during the present century. The basis of the rule is so obvious, when once the rule is stated, as to require no demonstration, but it struck me as so ingenious as to be worth while communicating it to you in case you deemed it worthy of insertion. I also append a very easy method of extending the rule to any date subsequent to the introduction of the Julian intercalation either in the past or future, except indeed for the eighteenth century, in which the introduction of the new style requires a special treatment.
