This is the
calendar for Old Style
1752, a
leap year which began on 1 January, and dropped 3–13 September to transition to the
Gregorian calendar.[1] Previously, the
Old Style calendar in England (and related regions) had begun on 25 March and ended with the following March, on 24 March.[1] Because the Gregorian calendar did not have
leap day in 1700, the original 10-day difference in calendars had expanded to an 11-day difference, and to compensate, 2 September was followed by 14 September, as skipping 11 days beyond 3 September.[1] Year 1753, in England (and related regions) followed the full Gregorian calendar. Note, below, the shortened length of September.

With the omission of 3–13 September, then 14 September 1752 became the first day to match the
New Style date of the
Gregorian calendar, as adopted c.1582 by some
Catholic territories.
Scotland followed this same plan, in converting to Gregorian dates in 1752, along with England, Wales, Ireland, the
American colonies, and related regions.
Other nations, such as
Russia and
Sweden, continued to use the
Julian calendar, in 1752.[2]
Although the
Swedish calendar had tried a gradual transition, beginning in 1700, to drop 11
leap days during 40 years, Sweden returned to the Julian calendar and finally adopted the
Gregorian calendar in 1753. Other nations did not change to the Gregorian system until more than 150 years later.[3]
There were many different transition plans used by various other nations (see:
Gregorian calendar#Adoption).
