Produktbeschreibung
""The Mysteries of Chronology"" by Forster Fitzgerald Arbuthnot is a book that explores the history and evolution of the calendar system. The author delves into the origins of various calendars, including the Julian and Gregorian calendars, and examines the discrepancies and errors that have occurred throughout history due to the complexity of the system. Arbuthnot proposes a new English era, to be called the Victorian era, which would begin on January 1, 1837, the date that Queen Victoria ascended to the throne. He argues that this new era would simplify the calendar system and eliminate confusion caused by the use of multiple eras in different parts of the world. The book also includes discussions on the history of timekeeping, the influence of astrology on the calendar, and the use of astronomical observations to determine the length of a year. ""The Mysteries of Chronology"" is a fascinating exploration of the history and complexities of the calendar system, and a thought-provoking proposal for a new era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
