CURIOSITIES OF LITERATURE.
THIS month takes its name from the Latin Januarius, which itself was derived from Janus, the two-faced God, who looked both before and behind, and hence was chosen by Numa as typifying the New Year, that stood between the past and the future, and might thus be said to look both ways at once.* Prior to the time of this monarch the Roman year had but ten months, and commenced with March; but he added January and February, making it begin with January, though the months, quintilis, sextilis, &c. still retained their old designations, as if no change had taken place in the Roman calendar.t
• "In duos novos menses pari ratione divisit, ac de duobus priorem Januarium nuncupavit, primumque anni esse voluit, tanquam bicipitis Dei mensem, respicientem ac prospicientem transacti anni finem futurique principia."-Aur. Macrobii Saturnal. Lib. i. cap. xiii. p.
