Putnam's Handbook of Universal History by George Palmer Putnam Pdf
Excerpt from Putnam's Handbook of Universal History: A Series of Chronological Tables Presenting, in Parallel Columns, a Record of the More Noteworthy Events in the History of the World From the Earliest Times Down to the Present Day, Together With an Alphabetical Index of Subjects It has been the intention of the editor in the several instances in which events and dates have become a matter of con troversy, to follow the authorities most generally accepted. It may easily, however, be the case that an occasional date or statement has been retained which some scholarly reader may find ground to question; such a critic can only be referred back to the latest investigators for the authoritative decision that seems to him to be important and that it is not practicable to attempt in a condensed summary of the world's history such as is presented in the present volume. The study of history and the intelligent reading of history should be, as stated, a study of the relations of events to each other made with the View of securing as far as practicable an understanding of the causation of these events and of the in uence exercised upon them by historic characters, by the leaders of men. This is the information which the publishers are undertaking to present to the public, on both sides of the Atlantic, in The Handbook of Universal History.

Hand-Book of Chronology and History by George P. Putnam Pdf
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.
