Many of these cross-references are such as are necessitated by variation in spelling among authorities, but more are sobriquets such as Cor poral, The Little: see Napoleon (i) Bonaparte under Napoleon will be found not only the sobriquet quoted but also ten other well known ones. Part II is a General World Chronology and here the reader can fix in memory the great events and crises of world history. This section is designated to be used in connection with the General Index and the various volumes, thus enabling the student to acquire a knowledge of history in its broadest aspects.
