Abstract

The article discusses how Joseph Priestley's timeline revolutionised the course of history. It mentions that as a teacher, Priestley sought to better communicate history to his students. It reveals that since ancient Greece and Rome, chronologers used time tables or grids to depict the order of events in time and mentions how philosophers accepted some version of Locke's account of abstraction.
