Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Last Periods of Universal History Prefatory remarks.-the fresh events just added to my Universal History are, though forcibly condensed into small compass, numerous, and full of interest and importance. Like Columbus, I have steered my bark through untraveled seas, having collected my facts mostly from newspapers and periodicals, including annals; but I have journeyed in the meantime in my own and in foreign countries, and have often enjoyed the privilege of conversing with the actors of the historic drama, or those personally acquainted with their deeds. The ability to trace great events to their true causes, cannot exist without previous familiarity with his tory; nor is this alone sufficient. And here it becomes no historian to presume on his own success, but humbly to await the award of his judges.

Download or read book Outlines of Ancient History written by William C. Morey and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outlines of Ancient History: For the Use of High Schools and Academies This book is intended to describe in a simple and compre hensive way the progress of civilization among the peoples of the ancient world. It seeks to illustrate the realhistor ical significance of these peoples, and to point out the contri butions which each has made to the progress of mankind. The significance of each country is estimated by the per manent elements of its civilization, or those elements which have survived after the nation has passed away. The purpose of the book is, therefore, not simply to describe the growth of separate countries, but to indicate in a general way the continuity of ancient history. The usual division of ancient history into Oriental, Greek, and Roman, has been followed not only as the most con venient arrangement, but as affording the means to illustrate in a satisfactory way the progressive stages in the growth of ancient civilization. A brief sketch of the Oriental countries is given to show the beginnings of man's industrial life and the initial stages in the development of government, art, science, and religion. The Greek world'is viewedas the historical field especially distinguished for the growth of political liberty and the development of a high intellec tual and aesthetic culture. In describing the Roman world, the attempt has been made to keep clearly in view that which has given to Rome its distinctive place in the world's history - the genius for organization, the growth of an imperial dominion, and the development of a universal system of government and law.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ancient Times, a History of the Early World: An Introduction to the Study of Ancient History and the Career of Early Man Finally, when we recall that the leading religion of the world the one which still dominates Western civilization to-day came to us out of the Orient; when we further remember that before it fell the Roman Empire was completely orientalized, it would appear to be only fair to our schools to give them books furnish ing an adequate treatment of pre-greek civilization. This does not mean to question for a moment the undeniable supremacy of Greek culture, or to give it any less space than before. The author believes that no one who reads the chapters on Greece in this survey will gain the impression that Hellas has been sac rificed to Moloch in other words, to her oriental predecessors.

Download or read book The Cambridge Ancient History Volume 12 The Crisis of Empire AD 193 337 written by Alan Bowman and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2008-03-28 with total page 965 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume covers the history of the Roman Empire from the accession of Septimius Severus in AD 193 to the death of Constantine in AD 337. This period was one of the most critical in the history of the Mediterranean world. It begins with the establishment of the Severan dynasty as a result of civil war. From AD 235 this period of relative stability was followed by half a century of short reigns of short-lived emperors and a number of military attacks on the eastern and northern frontiers of the empire. This was followed by the First Tetrarchy (AD 284-305), a period of collegial rule in which Diocletian, with his colleague Maximian and two junior Caesars (Constantius and Galerius), restabilised the empire. The period ends with the reign of the first Christian emperor, Constantine, who defeated Licinius and established a dynasty which lasted for thirty-five years.
Download or read book History of Ancient Civilization Classic Reprint written by Charles Seignobos and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-21 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professor Charles Seignobos, a French historian and Doctor of Letters of the University of Paris, originally released this book in France, titled Histoire de la Civilisation. With the success and widespread use of his work in France, particularly in schools, it was thought that this would be a good resource for students in other countries, especially in the U.S. Thus, this English translation, aptly named History of Ancient Civilization, came to be published in 1906. This 391-page, 27-chapter volume begins its exposition with prehistoric times and concisely discussed the four ages and ends with the later empire and the organization of the Church. The author managed to distill the important aspects of various periods in history, which adds to the academic appeal of this edition. Grade school and secondary level students will find this an easy read as the writing style is straightforward, using uncomplicated sentence structures and words. It also helps that the information the book contains is divided in short paragraphs with headings in bold letters. As such, it's easy for readers to search for certain passages. This shows that this is a work designed to be used as a reference material. Many of the titles published at the turn of the century did not make much use of the divisions that Professor Seignobos employed. Aside from students, those who are interested in history or want to revisit the origins of modern civilization as a recreational activity will enjoy reading History of Ancient Civilization.

This book was released on 2018-01-13 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ridpath's History of the World, Vol. 7 of 9 At first view it will appear to the student of history that the Ancient and the Modern World are, in their historical records, of about equal duration and importance. The begin nings of Ancient History are set, in a general way, about as far beyond the Christian Era as our own times are placed thereafter. To Ancient History belong the Classical Ages an epoch of achievement and glory which may well challenge the most brilliant periods of the recent era. But a closer judgment of the rel ative importance of Ancient and Modern His 'tory will show the great preponderance of the latter. This is one of the more important facts which have impressed themselves upon the writer's mind in the preparation of these Volumes. He has come to believe in the great preeminence of the Modern Era over the most brilliant epochs of Antiquity. This is said of the aggregate and total achievements of mod ern times as compared with the aggregate and total achievements of any given period in the history of the Ancient World.

Download or read book A History of Ancient Geography Vol 1 of 2 written by E. H. Bunbury and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-07 with total page 724 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Ancient Geography, Vol. 1 of 2: Among the Greeks and Romans From the Earliest Ages Till the Fall of the Roman Empire The present work is designed to supply a deficiency, which I have reason to believe has been felt by classical scholars. While there is no want of elementary treatises on ancient geography, and the requirements of the more advanced student are fully answered by the elaborate articles in Dr. Smith's Dictionary of Ancient Geography so far as relates to the details of particular places and countries, it is remarkable that there does not exist in the English language any such historical review of the subject as a whole, as is to be found in the introductions to the works of Mannert, Ukert, and Forbiger. But even these treatises, besides being confined to students who are familiar with the German language, can hardly be said to meet the demands of either the scholar or the geographer at the present day. Ukert's introductory volume was published as far back as 1816, and that of Mannert still earlier, while the more recent work of Forbiger (itself published in 1841) is so disfigured by the accumulation of cumbrous and unnecessary lists of names as to be altogether repulsive to the English reader.
