A qualification, often abbreviated to `OS',
of dates before the year 1752 in England as
quoted in later writings. In that year the
calendar in use in England was reformed by
the omission of 11 days, in order to bring it
into line with the more exact Gregorian
system, and the beginning of the year was put
back from 25 Mar to 1 Jan.
