Ambitious diagram outlining the major events in world history beginning with the Biblical starting point of the creation of the world as described in the Book of Genesis. The inner circle has a dial with the years of the Hebrew calendar, the outer border is labeled with the years of the Gregorian calendar. The educational intent is indicated by the assertion beneath the title in the upper right corner, "If any scheme or contrivance is calculated to assist the memory -- this certainly is!" The chart is illustrated with a central sun with a face, a map of the Mediterranean, and a tree captioned "Eden."
