Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cyclopedia of Universal History, Vol. 3 of 16: Embracing the Most Complete and Recent Presentation of the Subject in Two Principal Parts or Divisions of More Than Six Thousand Pages In the following pages I shall attempt to delineate the part which this great stock of mankind performed in the evo lution of civilization, not indeed as a mere historical agent displaying its force in institutional forms, in Senates and cities, in wars and thoroughfares, but as an organic, living entity, growing and spreading in the human manner until the branches thereof were stretched out over a large part of the bigness of the earth and the better part of the hu man family. That I' shall be able to depict the evolution of the Greek and Latin races -as 'amply and well as the place of those races was conspicuous and majestic in the ancient civilization, I do not expect; but that I may be able to present much of interest and something that is original in generalization and deduction is my desire and hope.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cyclopedia of Universal History, Vol. 2 of 3: Being an Account of the Principal Events in the Career of the Human Race From the Beginnings of Civilization to the Present Time, From Recent and Authentic Sources; Part I. The Modern World In following out this plan, it shall be my aim not only to produce a succinct narrative of the leading events which may claim our atten tion, but also to consider, from time to time, the causes which have determined them and the relations by which they are bound together. Without such linking of fact to fact, without such tracing of the ofttimes obscure lines of antecedence and consequence, any narrative of historical events must, of necessity, be of little interest and value.
