1730
March
(Dates from 1 January to 24 March 1730 under the calendar used now were considered 1729 "old style" by the British at the time. Within the British Empire, the start of the New Year was on 25 March though it was on 1 January in other European nations. In addition, the British still used the Julian calendar, which was 11 days behind the Gregorian calendar by 1730; thus, 3 March 1730 "new style" would have been 18 February 1729 "old style").
