Excerpt from A Description of a New Chart of History: Containing a View of the Principal Revolutions of Empire, That Have Taken Place in the World I have, in the firfi: place, collected, from a careful perufal of the hifiory of'all natrons that have ever made any figure in the world, the exact dates of the rife and fall of every confidcrable fiate.
