Year 1752 (MDCCLII) was a leap year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar, and a leap year starting on Wednesday of the 11-day slower Julian calendar. In Great Britain and the British Empire it began as a Julian year but was switched to a Gregorian year in September; in those countries the dates between September 3 and 13 (inclusive) did not occur.
