CHRoNoLoeY.-The New York Wctc7tnaa1 speaks
in high terms of Col. E. G. Haywood's forthcom-
ing work on Chronology. 1t says:
'We have examined the manuscript. It is
treatise at large upon the subject of Chronology
and upon cognate branches of study. 1t will form
an admirable outline of history, and furnish
vast fund of information. It is not dry skele
ton of mere facts and figures. 1t IS an elaborate
digest of all that is important upon the subject of
the relation of facts to time and many pages will
be read with the interest inspired by romance.
It will be excellent basis for historical instruc
ton in our universities and higher schools, and
manual for literary and scholarly men in every de-
partme.lt. We shall look with interest for the
appearance Of this volume, and hope that it will
soon be given to the public"
