Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 559-529 B.C. ASIATIC SUPREMACY. One of the most prominent and romantic characters in the history of the Oriental world, before its conquest by Alexander of Macedon, is Cyrus the Great; not as a sage or prophet, not as the founder of new religious systems, not even as a law-giver, but as the founder and organizer of the greatest empire the world has seen, next to that of the Romans. The territory over which Cyrus bore rule extended nearly three thousand miles from east to west, and fifteen hundred miles from north to south, embracing the principal nations known to antiquity, so that he was really a king of kings. He was practically the last of the great Asiatic emperors, absorbing in his dominions those acquired by the Assyrians, the Babylonians, and the Lydians. He was also the first who brought Asia into intimate contact with Europe and its influences, and thus may be regarded as the link between the old Oriental world and the Greek civilization.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Beacon Lights of History, Vol. 4: Imperial Antiquity Neither Herodotus, Xenophon, nor Ctesias satisfy us as to the real life and character Of Cyrus. This re nowned name represents, however, the Persian power, the last of the great monarchies that ruled the Ori ental world until its conquest by the Greeks. Persia came suddenly into prominence in the middle of the seventh century before Christ. Prior to this time it was comparatively unknown and unimportant, and was one of the dependent provinces of Media, whose re ligion, language, and customs were not very dissimi lar to its own.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Beacon Lights of History, Vol. 2: Part I. Ancient Achievements; Part II. Imperial AntiquityThere is not much in ancient governments and laws to interest us, expect such as were in harmony with naturals justice, and were designed for the welfare of all classes in the States. A jurisprudence founded on the edicts of absolute kings, or on the regulations of a priestly caste, is necessarily partial, and may be unenlightened. But those laws which are gradually enacted for the interests of the whole body of the people, - for the rich and poor, the powerful and feeble alike, - have generally been the result of the great and diverse experiences, running through centuries, the work of wise men under constitutional forms of government. The jurisprudence of nations based equity is a growth or development according to public wants and necessities, especially in centuries having popular liberty and right, as in England and the United States.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
