Interesting UNIX Command
Do you run UNIX? If so run this command: cal 9 1752
If your ussing a Mac, you can run that in terminal. This is the output:
Sparky> cal 9 1752
September 1752
S M Tu W Th F S
1 2 14 15 16
17 18 19 20 21 22 23
24 25 26 27 28 29 30
See, the missing days? Honourable mention to the first person to explain that in a comment.

Yes, it is common knowledge. But it was just a little puzzle, not every one would know that without looking it up.
