About the Highlights

The New Chart of History created by
Joseph Priestley in 1765. Not so new anymore.

When I was building The Guide, I put a summary of "highlights" at the top of each time period. It made the page cumbersome, so I've moved them all here to the "Blatherings" blog. (The 1900s were never completed; by the time I got that far, the ponderousness of the page was apparent, and the 1800s had become just a laundry list).

You can see the whole the Chronology here. The links there will lead you to the Listings.

Here are the Highlights' descriptions:

• BCE
• 000-499
• 500-999
• 1000-1499
• The 1500s
• The 1600s
• The 1700s
• The 1800s

You can also click the "Highlights" label at the bottom of this post to see them all on one page.
