Inhaltsangabe

Dates that shape our world, gathered in one volume. Essential for curious minds everywhere. Benjamin Vincent's Dictionary of Dates is a universal information guide and a comprehensive date dictionary from the nineteenth century, assembling a clear world events timeline and a disciplined chronology of events up to the autumn of 1878. Concise entries supply global historical facts and an important dates collection that spans regions and regimes, making complex shifts in nations and empires history intelligible at a glance. The work's succinct style and methodical ordering allow both quick look-ups and longer comparative reading, so the book functions as a practical historical reference book and a readable world history compendium for anyone tracing cause, connection or continuity. Its ordering and cross-references make it a dependable starting point when constructing timelines, verifying citations or contextualising literature; the balance of brevity and scope turns raw dates into intelligible patterns. Compiled in the Victorian era, the volume has enduring literary and historical significance as a snapshot of how nineteenth century history was catalogued, named and taught; its approach reveals the priorities of an age that sought to chart an expanding globe. Researchers and historians find its compact entries useful for academic reference use, while casual readers may dip into the world events timeline to explore revolutions, discoveries and diplomatic shifts; classic-literature collectors prize the volume's period authority, voice and provenance. It serves practical tasks - footnoting, building bibliographies, teaching chronological context - and it rewards leisurely perusal for those who enjoy the Victorian habit of ordering knowledge. Presented with careful editorial attention, the material is accessible without losing its period character. A fine anchor for any reference shelf. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
