Notes

{{note|a}} Until 1752, in Great Britain and its possessions, the year began on Lady Day (25 March) Thus 24 March 1710 was followed by 25 March 1711. 31 December 1711 was followed by 1 January 1711. In most of Europe (though not Russia or Greece) and Latin America, 24 March 1711 was followed by 25 March 1711, and 31 December 1711 was followed by 1 January 1712.
