November

November (Lat. novem, 'nine') was among the Romans the ninth month of the year (the Ger. Wind month) at the time when the year consisted of ten months, and then contained 30 days. It subsequently was made to contain only 29, but Julius Cæsar gave it 31; and in the reign of Augustus the number was restored to 30, which number it has since retained. Its festivals are All Saints (1), St Hubert (3), St Martin (11), St Catharine (25), and St Andrew (30).
