Thirty Days Hath September

Printed under 28 February

Still kept

At the end of February Hone prints the old memorandum of the months for fixing their lengths in the memory, ending with February and its twenty-eight days. He adds that 1824, a leap year, had given February five Sundays, which can only happen in a leap year that begins the month on a Sunday. The rhyme is still how most people remember the months.

Thirty days hath September, April, June, and November

From Hone's Every-Day Book, vol. 1, col. 310. Read the original
