hi!
perhaps the reference to new style is referring to the change of
calendar from Julian to Gregorian in 1752 when the Gregorian dates were
known asNew Style.
As 11 days were removed the solar declination etc. would be different to
agree with the new calendar

New Style (abbr. N.S.) is a calendrical term meaning that the dates
are expressed according to the Gregorian reform, which took effect in
England in 1752; the opposite is Old Style (abbr. O.S.). Dates in the
17c-19c are rather often given in both (e.g., Oct. 25/12 ) to make
them completely
