Chronicle

Chronicle (Gr. chronos, 'time') denotes a history in which events are treated in the order of time. A chronicle is understood to differ from annals in being more connected and full, the latter merely recording individual occurrences under the successive years or other dates. Most of our older histories were called chronicles, such as the Saxon Chronicle, Holinshed's Chronicle, Baker's Chronicle. The name is also given to two historical books of the Old Testament, and is not infrequently in modern days adopted by a newspaper, as the Morning Chronicle.
