Download or read book Notes on the Calendar and the Almanac 1914 written by George Emery Littlefield and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on the Calendar, and the Almanac, 1914 Even at the present day a bunch of almanacs may be found in many a farmer's kitchen, suspended from a peg or nail in the wall near the fireplace. At the beginning of a year the new almanac is sure to be secured and is religiously preserved by being sewn to its predecessors, and not infrequently this bunch of almanacs constitutes the family library. It is to emphasize these and other reasons for the preservation of calendars and almanacs, and to give a compendious history of them that these notes have been prepared. Of calendars, or orderly lists of persons, things, and events, there are many kinds: for instance, a calendar of state papers; a calendar of bills presented in a legislative assembly; a calendar of causes arranged for trial in court. The Calendar which we are to consider is defined by Webster as "an orderly arrangement of the divisions of time, adapted to the purposes of civil life, as years, months, weeks, and days; a register of the year with its divisions." It refers to time in general and to the tables which have been invented to register its progress. It may refer to a single year, or it may refer to the general scheme adopted by astronomers by which tune may be measured without reference to any particular year. It is a general table of the days and months of a period of time called a year from which may be deduced the days and months of any particular year. It is a scheme for the division of time, and changes in this scheme can be made only by those appointed by the government for that purpose. Thus we have the Egyptian, Chinese, Jewish, Roman, Gregorian and Aztec calendars, the names of which sufficiently indicate their character and denote that they are national modes of registering the course of time by the season's progress.

Download or read book Graphic History written by Philip Benedict and published by Librairie Droz. This book was released on 2007 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The suite of forty prints published in Geneva in 1570 depicting the wars, massacres and troubles of the French Wars of Religion may have been the first picture history made in woodcuts or etchings that promised a geenral public a true view of great events of the recent past. This richly illustrated study reconstructs the gradual elaboration of this experimental work, situating it within the previously untold story of the use of the graphic arts to report the news in the fist centuries of European printmaking. Successive chapters explore the pictorial traditions that inspired the printmakers, examine how they gathered their information, assess the reliability of the scenes, and analyze the historical vision informing the series. Part 2 reproduces the full suite with commentary in double page fold-outs. Through the study of a single print series, lost chapters in the history of jorunalism, of the graphic arts, and of Protestant historical consciousness re-emerge.
Download or read book The Calendar in Revolutionary France written by Sanja Perovic and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-08-27 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most unusual decisions of the leaders of the French Revolution - and one that had immense practical as well as symbolic impact - was to abandon customarily-accepted ways of calculating date and time to create a Revolutionary calendar. The experiment lasted from 1793 to 1805, and prompted all sorts of questions about the nature of time, ways of measuring it and its relationship to individual, community, communication and creative life. This study traces the course of the Revolutionary Calendar, from its cultural origins to its decline and fall. Tracing the parallel stories of the calendar and the literary genius of its creator, Sylvain Maréchal, from the Enlightenment to the Napoleonic era, Sanja Perovic reconsiders the status of the French Revolution as the purported 'origin' of modernity, the modern experience of time, and the relationship between the imagination and political action.
