Interest in James Ussher and his chronological work saw a re-awakening as the date of 22nd October 1996 approached and it was realised that we were commencing the 6000th year from Archbishop Ussher's estimated date of Creation, viz. the beginning of the night of the 22nd October 4004 BC. In the popular press some, playing on the inherent uncertainty of our existence, suggested that Ussher had predicted that the world would end on the evening of 22 October 1996; thus the Irish Times headline of this date `An early tea would be advisable as the world may end at 6 p.m.', but this certainly misrepresents Ussher's work, for he made no such prediction. Who then was James Ussher and why is he so strongly associated with chronological matters in the public mind?
