World Events, a Victorian Perspective
These along with other Victorian era newspaper articles were compiled by George Burgess 1829-1905 (my great-great grandfather) and saved in his Victorian Scrapbook of over 500 articles; put together over his lifetime and which includes many American newspaper articles from the early 19th century collected while he was living in America from about 1844 to 1857.
To see the full collection of these Victorian Era newspaper articles saved in Victorian Scrapbook by George Burgess (available for free viewing online) just follow the web link below.
List of Principal Events in Modern History
Chronological Table of Events in Ancient History
The above is just part of a longer list going back to the Punic Wars in 218AD. On Nathanville (link below) as well as both parts of this article I've also included on the same page another related newspaper article entitled 'Chronological Table of Events in Ancient History'. For each event listed in these articles, where possible I've added hyperlinks to other websites for further information.
I guess to the Victorians these articles were the equivalent to a simple encyclopaedia freely available by their publications in Victorian newspapers and therefore of great educational value.
Statistics of Human Life
And World Population
This newspaper article was published in an English Magazine called 'Once a Week' that ran from 1859-1880; although if you look up the world population figures quoted in the magazine e.g. 1 billion people it becomes clear the magazine was using out-of-date information that would have previously been published prior to the 1850s.
