Présentation de l'éditeur

The design of this Manual is to present in a systematic condensed form, the elements of General History. To learn and remember these, properly, during the usual school period of education, is all that should be required of a pupil. To attempt more, is to till the youthful mind with a confused mass of events, persons, places, etc., which the labor of all subsequent life often fails to reduce to order. One of the difficulties which most pupils experience in studying history, consists in not being able to remember The Dates. To obviate this difficulty, the compiler has devised the plan of associating the figures of chronology with theii corresponding events, persons, and places. Thus, having divided the history of the world, by The Nativity of ourS aviour, into two great periods Ancient History and Modern History a few of the more remarkable events in each of the periods, are arranged in connection with the persons, places, and dates with which they are historically associated. Thus: fl. The Creation A damE den.... b. c. 4004 .2. Deluge Noah Mt. Ararat 2:548 3. Call of A bram Uf of Ciialdees ... 1921 g4. Exodus of Is ...M oses Red Sea 1491 5.
