A historical, genealogical, biographical, geographical, and chronological atlas, by J. B. Holgate, printed in Cambridge, Mass. The atlas consists of 10 pages of explanatory text and 6 timeline charts, engraved by G. W. Boynton, covering the years 1492 through 1842. On each chart time flows sequentially from top to bottom, with events categorized thematically in columns running across the sheet. Charts cover a group of columns for events, ecclesiastical history, slave trade and whale fishery, and events involving England, France, Spain and other European countries. Personal names are accompanied by tiny symbols. Holgate states his objective in the Preface: “It is the object of this work to present the most important facts of History, Chronology, Biography and Statistics, in the shortest compass possible, by lines and symbols which appeal to the eye”.
