The Diary of Rev. Ebenezer Parkman

Day: July 20, 1779

July 20, 1779

1779 July 20 (Tuesday).  Read preface to Shaw’s Immanuel.  Newspaper from Boston, but am chiefly impressed and taken up with the weighty, important Things, which relate to my Dissolution and an eternal World.  It is wonderful that I am no more affected with them.

Why Do the Days Listed in the Diary Entries before Sept. 15, 1752 Not Correspond to the Days on the Calendar?

In 1752, Great Britain and the American colonies switched from the Julian Calendar to the Gregorian Calendar, which we use today in a slightly updated form.
