[edit] The Date Of Easter
The Act also introduced the Gregorian Rules for the date of Easter Sunday (cf. the Computus page); that seems worth a mention.

[edit] Leap Year Rules
The Act introduced the omission of February 29th on years divisible by 100 but not 400. That needs specifically mentioning.

[edit] The Easter Tables
There is http://books.google.com/books?id=pSoIAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA1 The British Calendar Act, imaged, but alas without the Easter details. Many, if not all, copies of the original Act on the Web omit the 12 monthly Saints' Days pages and the important pages on the Date of Easter Sunday. But http://books.google.com/books?id=zr8PAAAAIAAJ&printsec=frontcover&lr=#PPA24,M1 Book of Common Prayer (1815) - imaged - has Easter tables which are presumably those of the Calendar Act itself. Note - view with broadband. 82.163.24.100 (talk) 19:25, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
