Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Epitome of Ancient, Mediæval, and Modern History Prof. Dr. Carl Ploetz, well known in Germany as a veteran teacher, is the author of a number of educational works having a high reputation, among which none has better approved its usefulness than the "Epitome of Universal History." The admitted excellence of the book renders an apology for its translation unnecessary, but an extract from the author's preface respecting the nature and purpose of the work may not be out of place. "The present 'Epitome,' which now appears in a seventh edition, enlarged and improved, is intended, in the first place, for use by the upper classes in higher educational institutions, as a guide or handbook in the historical classroom. The handy arrangement of the book and the elaborate index are intended to adapt it for private use, and to facilitate rapid acquisition of information concerning historical matters which have, for the moment, escaped the memory. "I have endeavored to give everywhere the assured results of recent historical investigation, adding, as far as possible, references to my authorities. "The exposition of ancient history is based upon the works of Duncker, Curtius, Mommsen, and Peter. "Mediæval history, which was treated somewhat too briefly in the earlier editions, has been made proportionately full since the fourth, and has been, moreover, enlarged, as has modern history, by the addition of a number of genealogical tables. "In modern history the treaties of peace have been brought into especial prominence, and the principal conditions of the great treaties, through which alone one can get an insight into the historical formation of the present system of European states, have been stated with all possible accuracy. "Recent history has been brought down to the present day. The purpose and the compass of the book alike permitted nothing more than a compressed narrative of facts, as far as possible, free from the expression of personal opinion. This limitation of itself excludes the possibility of offending, whether in a religious or a political sense. "All are probably now agreed that it is unadvisable for scholars to write out the lecture of the instructor in full, which, however, should not prevent them from taking notes here and there. No one denies the necessity of a guide as a basis for instruction; but widely differing ideas prevail concerning the arrangement and extent of such a work.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Medieval and Modern History The continent of Europe is divided into three distinct parts. (i) The southern portion comprises the great peninsulas of Greece, Italy, and Spain. It is cut off from the central mass by an almost unbroken mountain chain, formed by the Pyrenees, the Alps, and their eastern continuations. (2) North of this lies a central land mass, stretching east and west across the con tinent, which broadens out in the east to form the great plain of Russia. (3) Beyond this lie the British Isles and the Scan dinavian peninsula. These lands are separated from the central portion by the English Channel, the North Sea, and the Baltic Sea, which is a sort of secondary Mediterranean.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Medieval and Modern History: Its Formative Causes and Broad Movements And while the Roman empire was becoming internally weaker every day, it was from without subject to violent attacks. In the north there were the German tribes, a people young and vigorous in body and in spirit; and dur ing the third and fourth centuries these German tribes, whom Caesar and succeeding emperors had failed to subdue, poured down upon the Roman Empire. They did not, however, wholly destroy it, but united their r.ough tribal traditions of liberty and justice to all that was best in the Rome of the past.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Medieval and Modern History This book is something more than a revision of the author's Essentials in Mediæval and Modern History. As the task of revision progressed, its scope was so enlarged that, by reorganization, extension, and rewriting, the result became practically a new work. It has been deemed best, therefore, to give to the book a distinctive name, and at the same time to continue the publication of the old volume. In general the aim in this book has been to decrease the amount of space devoted to political and military details, and to increase the emphasis on social, industrial, and cultural topics. Full treatment also is given to the important events which have occurred since the Essentials in Mediæval and Modern History was first published. Instead of treating these in a supplementary chapter, they have been woven, so far as practical, into their logical places in the narrative. In conformity with what is now the established tendency, greater emphasis has been put on the events of our own time than on those of former ages. It is now generally recognized that a leading aim of the study of history is to enable one to understand the world of to-day. Profuse and adequate illustrations and maps are inserted in proper relation to the text. It is believed that the breaking up of the chapters into lettered subdivisions will facilitate the assignment of lessons, and it is hoped that the new teaching apparatus will prove especially useful. A table of rulers is inserted at the beginning of the volume for convenience of reference; lists of important dates follow the several chapters; and in connection with each search topic a few carefully selected references are printed to guide the pupil in his collateral reading. No pains have been spared to adapt the book to the needs of the schools and to the powers of the pupils. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
