About this title

Synopsis

From the Creation to the dawn of modern industry, the story of civilisation unfolds in dates, names, and decisive moments. History, compressed into pure signal. Edited by George Palmer Putnam, The World's Progress: A Dictionary of Dates arranges essential historical facts in both chronological and alphabetical form, tracing a continuous world history chronology. Battles and dynasties stand beside inventions, discoveries, reforms, and cultural milestones, forming a universal history reference that charts the progress of civilisation history as Victorians understood it. Concise entries and a sweeping timeline of world events make it a powerful historical reference book for quick consultation, reflection, or serious study. First issued in the nineteenth century as part of the great tradition of Haydn's Dictionary of Dates and other Victorian era world history surveys, it preserves a distinctly period voice while remaining remarkably accessible. Ideal as a reference for history students, independent scholars, writers, and a thoughtful homeschool world history resource, it also appeals to readers who enjoy a classic world history compendium that invites browsing as much as research. 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.
