Inhaltsangabe

History made searchable and immediate. A compact guide across centuries. Benjamin Vincent's Dictionary of dates and universal information relating to all ages and nations, containing the history of the world to the autumn of 1878 is an authoritative historical reference book and world chronology guide. Meticulously organised as a universal information compendium, it sets out a global history timeline that brings clarity to significant world events and the connections between them. Its terse, date-centred entries form a reliable historical facts collection: a quick reference for casual readers, a factual backbone for researchers and historians, and an academic reference tool for teachers, students and librarians seeking a clear temporal scaffold on which to build narrative or inquiry. Formally a product of nineteenth century history scholarship, the work is noteworthy for its breadth and for the Victorian appetite for ordering knowledge. As an encyclopedic history volume it offers a worldwide civilizations overview that rewards both browsing and focused research; its scope makes it useful for constructing timelines, cross-referencing epochs, or quickly locating the context of a particular date. Collectors of benjamin vincent works and aficionados of classic literature will value its original voice and the perspective it preserves; casual readers will find singular pleasure in tracing the strands that link distant places and eras. 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. Useful for genealogical inquiry, lecture preparation and careful citation, the Dictionary supplies dependable chronological anchors. Teachers, travel writers, students and public historians find a ready starting point when weaving dates into narrative. Practical as an academic reference tool yet elegant enough for a well-curated shelf, this Dictionary remains a durable bridge between popular curiosity and disciplined research. A useful companion, timeless.
