Excerpt from The Manual of Dates: A Dictionary of Reference to the Most Important Events in the History of Mankind to Be Found in Authentic Records IT has been the aim of the Author to render the manual or dates a concise and trustworthy compendium of the principal events of Ancient and Modern times. AS the value of a work of reference must necessarily depend upon the character of the sources whence information is derived, the best authorities have in all cases been consulted, and their statements have been carefully examined and compared. On disputed points, conflicting accounts have been subjected to rigid scrutiny, and the view supported by the best evidence has been invariably adopted.
