Look out for the century in the head of the Table, and the odd years in the left hand columns; and in the corresponding column and line is the Dominical letter. Thus for 1893 N.S. the Dominical letter is found to be A.

In the 2nd Table find the month, and in line with it the same Dominical letter, in the same column with which are the days of the week corresponding to the days of the month on the left. Thus, for July 1893, we find, in line with July, A (in the last column), and in the column below Saturday corresponds to the 1st, 8th, 15th, &c. of the month, Sunday to 2nd, 9th. &c.

When there are two letters together it is a leap year and the first letter serves for January and February, the second for the rest of the year. Thus, for A.D. 600, the Dominical letters are CB, and 29th February is found with C to be Monday 1st March is found with B to be Tuesday.
