Lyman's Historical Chart.
In Review No. 18 of present Vol., we published a notice of “Lyman's Historical Chart.” In regard to the excellent arrangement and value of this chart, and the importance of possessing such a work, we would add the following: It is in atlas form, with 17 full leaves, 15x16 inches. Time is represented as a stream, or colored band, flowing 7 inches each century; different contemporary nations are represented by different colored bands flowing parallel; when a nation begins, a band begins; when one nation conquers another, the band sweeps around, blots it out and moves on wider. The events are written in the stream just where they took place. The century is given in large figures in the border at the top, and the date of each event just before the word. Thus the reader has placed before him the history of the world for four centuries; and presented to the eye as completely as to the mind. Half an hour's study of the chart will place the student in possession of a more intelligent conception of the growth of the great empires and kingdoms of the world, than he could obtain by weeks of historical reading. This chart is furnished with a key in book form, and it has interest on every square inch of its pages. For further particulars and price, address, Levi Turney, Battle Creek, Mich.
