The study Of History is the most i'm
portant Of AL studies. aud no Que can b.
considered as accomplished or educated
uness he il couversant at least with all
the leading events which have occurred
within the chronology Of tho human race.
II is study however, which has always
been attained with peculiar difficulties.
Even the student whD has spent much
time in close study Of the poges Of vol.
luminous writers, to make himself &c
quain'ed with the past history of the
world finds, 6rst. that after all his labor
his men DRY j. able to retain but very
few Of the "millous OF iscts." which hi
industry may have cleaned. and second.
that the facts remembered lie 10 his mind
in n confused state, without that arrange
mint as to dates, which is necessary to a
clear conception of their sequence aud
bearing upon each other.
The scheme OF this Chart il TO prcsen,
the history Of the world by centuries, and
also 10 bring the eye to the aid Of The
mind in locating facts and events, Time
is represented as a stream, flowing Ger.
tain allotted space each century. The
events are written down 10 the stream
just where they took place, those most
prominent in larger type. The date OF
the Century is given in large figures in
the border at the top Of each page. and
the date in that century Of each event
recorded is pleccd just before the event
Thus the reader has spread out under his
eye the history OF a century. and in such
shape that at g ance the mind takes in
the general aspect of the whole period,
the relative importance Of each nation.
the particular history of each, and the
contemporaneous history of all, and the
mind is compelled to imbibo and retain
the facts which are given, both by the eye
and the thought.
Historical reading has always a charm
for the young, and their taste in this di
rection every intelliget parent is careful
to foster and provide for. The youth
who studies the Chart carefully in con
nection with the reading of any historical
hook will have the events of which be
reads located in his mind, both as to time
and their relation to other events, as
clearly as is the geography Of the coun.
tries 10 which they occurred Its value
10 the family as work Of reference can
scarcely be estimated
