Background:

The days 18-28 (inclusive) were dropped in February 1753 to skip from Julian calendar to Gregorian calendar. Scanned image of the original calendar can be found at https://almanakka.helsinki.fi/images/arkisto/1700/175302.gif and all calendars between 1700-1799 can be found at https://almanakka.helsinki.fi/fi/arkisto/yliopiston-almanakat-universitetets-almanackor-1608-1999/1700-luvun-almanakat.html

This change is similar to British calendar in September 1752.
