Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Questions Designed for the Use of Pupils Engaged in the Study of Lyman´s Chart of Universal History: With a Key to the Names Mentioned on the Chart, and a List of Geographical Names of Ancient and Middle History, With Their Corresponding Modern Names All, with some rare exceptions, who attempt to obtain a clear and correct knowledge of history, meet with one insurmountable obstruction. Although they may, by considerable labor, be able to remember a few abstract dates, yet, the vast and mighty range of history they cannot arrange or comprehend. It was to make this an easy task, as well as for a map of reference, that this chart was constructed. It represents the stream of time flowing seven inches every century: the different colored streams flowing parallel represent different cotemporary nations. When a nation begins, the stream begins; when one nation conquers another, the stream sweeps around, blots it out, and moves on wider than before. The events are written down in the stream just where they took place; those more prominent in larger type, those less prominent in smaller type. The dates in the border, at the top of each division, represent the time before and after the Christian era. The small dates before each event, are taken together with those at the top between that event and the Christian era: for example, "700" at the top, and "76" before the event reads 776, B. C., Epoch of the Olympiads: 753 Rome founded: 476 A. D., fall of the Western Empire: 1453 Constantinople, the capital of the Eastern Empire, falls, &c. Divisions of History. The chart is naturally arranged in divisions of 500 years each. These divisions are separated by some prominent character or event. Beginning 2000 B. C. Abraham; 1500 Moses; 1000 Solomon; near 500 Daniel and the beginning of the Roman Republic; A. D. Christ; A. D. 500 Fall of the Western Empire and beginning of Middle Ages; 1000 Central period of the Middle Ages; 1500 Reformation.
