In drawing up these Tables of Ancient History and Literature, an attempt has been made to give a synoptical view of the chronological relation of the fortunes and achievements of tiie nations in whose history and development students are mainly interested. The following are the general features of the plan which has been adopted : — 1. The arrangcnicnt of the Coliunns varies in the different sheets, prominence in each being given to the leading nation and its literature. 2. The scale necessarily varies — centuries marking the .spaces of the earlier ; periods of twentj'-fivc or twenty years, of the later ages. 3. Events are recorded as nearly as possible on the line of their date , during the fifth century B.C. one sometimes inevitably crowds another out of its exact place. 4. Names of Statesmen are followed by dates indicating their tenure of power ; added dates in brackets sometimes mark the duration of life. 5. Names of Authors are followed by dates of birth and death; in remote periods more frequently by single dates of the time when they are believed to have flourished. 6. Names of Hebrew Prophets are underlined and followed by figures marking the limits of the periods during which they are supposed to have prophesied. It ought to be explicitly stated that the majority of the dates — especially of authors — in Table I. are traditional, and adopted on the basis of current conjecture. No attempt has been made to adjudicate on the controversies which surround them. Dates of like uncertainty in subsequent Tables are followed by a mark of interrogation (.'). The accounts of " Sardanapalus " are so conflicting that his name has been inserted with a query in two distinct Tables. In Tables III. and IV. it has been found advisable to introduce colours — (i) In the Art columns; (2) In the History columns — to make more clear the relations of the contending nationalities. On the following principle they indicate — (i) The professions of the representative artists ; (2) The leading names, legal landmarks, and decisive victories of the most prominent peoples. A. In the columns of Literature and Art : Painters, ........ Red. Sculptors and Architects, ..... Green. Musicians Blue. II. In the columns of Histor)' ; „ f Athenian and Theban, Greeks i „ { Spartan and Sicilian, Romans, ....... Persians, ....... Macedonians and Successors of Alexander, Phit.nicians and Carthaginians, Blue. Blue Bars. Red. Red Bars. Green. (iREEN Bars. Mr. Nichol has gratefully to acknowledge kind advice and assistance more especially received from Professor Sellar of Edinburgh, and Professor Ward of Owen's College, Manchester.
