Dear Concerned,
The pattern as I see it here has no problem within, however, you would surely like to add more points under each heading and subheading since history is such a subject which requires piles of tiny details at every step. For example, you could add few points under the main heading; i) Old Name ii) Geography iii) Climate iv) Social System, etc.
Apart from the pattern, I would recommend you to quote Philip K. Hitti, Tariq Ali and other writers instead of William Muir since Muir was termed a blasphemist and countered by Sir Syed Ahmed in good old days.
Good Luck with your notes making
I appreciate the effort.
Regards,
