Spectacular and rare folding guide A New Chart of History by Joseph Priestley, first published in 1769, in London, Great Britain. The Chart is dedicated to Benjamin Franklin and was created to accompany Priestley’s lectures on world history. The Chart of History lists events in 106 locations and illustrates the new theory that the entire world’s history was significant, the belief that started with Voltaire and W. Robertson. In the Chart, the world’s history is divided into several geographical locations: America, Africa, China, Germany, Great Britain, France, India, Italy, Persia, Poland, Russia, Scandinavia, Spain and Turkey. It shows the history of empires and the passing of power, and accompanied by a Short Explanation. The Chart became extremely popular and went through 15 editions from 1769 to 1816. This fully restored version is of 1805, the year of the Battle of Trafalgar.
Joseph Priestley (24 March 1733 – 6 February 1804) was an English chemist, natural philosopher, theologian, grammarian, multi-subject educator and liberal political theorist. He published over 150 works and conducted research in various areas of science, including discovery of oxygen, carbonated water, experiments with electricity and gases. For his lectures and charts, Priestley was granted a Doctor of Law degree by University of Edinburgh. Priestley believed that that understanding of the natural world would promote human progress and eventually bring about the Christian millennium. His support of American and later the French Revolution has led to public contempt, forcing Priestley to flee to United States, Pennsylvania, where he spent his last ten years.
