Lawyers, historians, genealogists, teachers, and all students and readers of history would find the Chart eminently serviceable. For a number of weeks in 1892 the Boston _Transcript_ discussed the four elements of dates; this Chart would have given the result in ten minutes. See the _Transcript_, Oct. 1, 1892.
