Note:
In 1769 Joseph Priestley published A new chart of history. Popularized the timeline format with his influential Chart of Biography in 1765. He was inspired by the Thomas Jefferys' 1753 model for a historical chart, A Chart of Universal History, upon which he improved by regularizing the distribution of dates, by presenting time horizontally, and by emphasizing the continuous flow of historical time. This chart is identical to the Chart of Biography in size and scale. This innovative, colorful timeline exhibits regions and the unity of empires that cannot be represented by continuous space. Priestley runs his dates across the page from left to right.
