This wide-ranging dictionary contains a wealth of information on all aspects of history, from prehistory right up to the present day. Over 4,000 clear, concise entries include biographies of key figures in world history (living and dead), separate entries for every country in the world (summarising key historical events), and in-depth entries on religious and political movements, international organizations, and major conflicts and events and their after-effects. For this new edition, existing entries have been revised and updated to reflect the very latest global events including changes in leadership, wars, political situations, and the statistical information given for each country (population counts, currency, languages, religions). New entries have been included for key figures who have recently come to prominence and world events. The book also contains twenty-five detailed maps linked to key historical events and topics. These include the African slave trade, the Black Death, and the Normandy campaign. Also included are over 200 country maps. The dictionary is enhanced by entry-level web links which are accessed via a dedicated companion website. Encyclopedic in scope, this ambitious A to Z provides an excellent overview of world history both for students and anyone with an interest in the subject.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Dictionary of Chronology: Or the Historian's Companion, Being an Authentic Register of Events From the Earliest Period to the Present Time Chronology may be defined, a scientific method of ascertaining or computing time, from the commencement of some given event to the completion or fulfilment of another, with the doctrine of dates, eras, epochs, &c. Coincident therewith. Like history it opens, through a great avenue, an expanded view of all human affairs, and connects and illumines the most dark and distant revolutions of the world. Yet it is to be lamented, that many and insuperable difficulties arise in asoer taining the dates and periods of antiquity, and concerning which much controversy and difference of Opinion have arisen. All nations, says Sir Isaac Newton, before they began to keep exact records of time, seem to have been led away by the false pride of heightening their antiquity, and of ascribing their origin to some divinity or renowned prince, often known only in fable, and handed down by legendary tradition. On this account Sir Isaac found himself constrained to deviate widely from the beaten paths of former writers, in fixing the dates of facts preceding the war between the Greeks and Persians yet, so affixing them, says he, as to make Chronology suit with the course of nature, with astronomy, with sacred history, and with itself. Sir Isaac Newton has shown, that the Chronology of ancient king doms is involved in the greatest uncertainty; and that the Europeans had no Chronology before the existence of the Persian empire, or 536 years before Christ, when Cyrus conquered Darius that the antiquities of the Greeks are full of fables till this period, and that after this time several Greek historians introduced the computation by generations.

Excerpt from Hand-Book of Chronology and History: The World's Progress, a Dictionary of Dates; With Tabular Views of General History, and a Historical Chart The alphabetical part of the volume gives, in most cases, more full and ample references to the same historical 'facts; but still the whole work is but an index to the sources of knowledge - a Diction ary of Dates. It has been planned so as to facilitate access to the largest amount of useful information in the smallest possible compass. There are some discrepancies among the authorities, as to names and dates - especially in the Middle Ages - and in some instances the dictionary varies from the tables; but these instances are not numerous or important.
