History of New Year's. - It is very appropriate that the 1st of January should be the first day of the first month of the year, as far as the Northern Hemisphere is concerned; since its beginning, being near the winter solstice, the year is thus made to present a complete series of the seasonal changes and operations, including equally the first movements of spring and the death of all annual vegetation in the frozen arms of winter. Yet the earliest calendars, as the Jewish, the Egyptian and Greek, did not place the commencement of the year at this point. It was not done till the formation of the Roman calendar, usually attributed to the second king, Numa Pompilius, whose reign is set down as terminating anno 672 B. C. Numa, it is said, having decreed that the year should commence now, added two new months to the ten into which the year had previously been divided, calling the first Januarius in honor of Janus, the deity supposed to preside over doors (Lat. janua, a door), who might very naturally be presumed also to have something to do with the opening of the year.
