Excerpt from The Civil Service Chronology: The Chronology of History, Art, Literature, and Progress, From the Creation of the World to the Conclusion of the Franco-German War: In Three Parts: Ancient History, to the Fall of the Western Empire, Medieval History, to the Year 1500, Modern History, to the Present TimeThis arrangement has been adopted in the hope of meeting a great want long acknowledged, but now more than ever apparent, as the Civil Service examina tions require the candidate to possess not a mere parrot-recollection of dates, but some insight into the springs of action and the progress of civilisation which from the earliest period have governed the course of events.IH the continuation of this Chronology, from the year 1856 to the present time, a rather fuller summary of events has been given than in the preceding portion of the book, on account of the immense importance of the changes effected.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
