Originally, people followed the Julian calendar, which was introduced in 46 BC by Julius Caesar. This calendar had slight flaws, however, and in 1582 it was replaced by the Gregorian calendar, started by Pope Gregory XIII. However, in England, they refused to accept this calendar because it was a Catholic invention. They finally decided to start using the calendar in 1752; by which time the calendars were so off, it was necessary to correct by *eleven* days. This mean that the day after September 2, 1752 was September 14, 1752! That's why September 13, 1752 doesn't exist in British history!
The Gregorian calendar is still in use today.

it was a leap year that started on Thursday.
The Gregorian Calendar was devised both because the mean year in the Julian Calendar was slightly too long, causing the vernal equinox to slowly drift backwards in the calendar year, and because the lunar calendar used to compute the date of Easter had grown conspicuously in error as well.
Tomb of Pope Gregory XIII in St. Peter's Basilica.The Gregorian calendar system dealt with these problems by dropping a certain number of days to bring the calendar back into synchronization with the seasons, and then slightly shortening the average number of days in a calendar year, by omitting three Julian leap-days every 400 years.
