<p class="MsoNormal">I am working on some English political pamphlets primarily from the 1640s. Most of the records I have found in OCLC take the year as given on the piece, but in some cases the ESTC records have noted that Lady day dating has been used, while
entries that exist in Wing take the date as given. I have not dealt with Lady day dating to this point, so I’m wondering if I should assume that it applies to everything printed before the region of origin adopted the Gregorian calendar or only take it into
account when specified in a union list or some other reference source? At this point I can’t tell if I am overthinking or what and I would be glad for clarification on this. Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
