Note 61 — MEMOIR OF THE REV. RICHARD GILPIN, M.D.
Reading edition
Turner, in giving the above extract, misled by 1699, imagines it must refer to some other Dr Gilpin. He forgot that the year did not begin then until March 25; so that, while under our reckoning it was 1700, under the old it was 1699; and hence the marking until the change of the going and coming year, e.g., 1699-1700.
