Book excerpt: Excerpt from Grandest Century in the World's History This volume contains a full and glowing account of the world's wonderful progress in the Nineteenth Century. It vividly depicts the grand climax of all the centuries, and describes the great events that have made the history of mankind sublime and glorious. It is a marvellous record of Brilliant Achievements, such as the Triumphs of Electricity; Great Explorations and Discoveries; the Application of Steam to Navigation; the growth of the World's Navies, and the amazing advances in Education, Religion, Literature, Art and Science. Such a Century Plant, unfolding its wonderful blossoms, has not been seen before in the history of man. The last Hundred Years have witnessed the Growth of the United States from five and a half million people to more than seventy million; amazing strides in Agriculture; the development of Immense Natural Resources, and the victories of Invention, Heroism and Statesmanship. The swift march of events in other parts of the globe includes the down-fall of Napoleon I. and Napoleon III.; the rapid changing of the map of Europe, the conflict between Russia and the Allied Powers of England and France; the expulsion of Spain from the Western Continent; and the bloody war in South Africa. The last third of the Century witnessed a spirited struggle among the European Powers for supremacy in Africa, which a few years before was an unknown Continent. This masterly work contains a vivid account of the desperate conflict between the British and the Boers, states the Causes of the War, and furnishes graphic descriptions of Battles, Sieges, and Heroic Achievements, which tested the courage, endurance and patriotism of the sturdy combatants. It is a peerless volume, unrolling a grand panorama of historic events and the world's progress in every field of human activity. Part I. - Great Events of American History in the Nineteenth Century.

Download or read book London and the Seventeenth Century written by Margarette Lincoln and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2021-02-23 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive history of seventeenth-century London, told through the lives of those who experienced it The Gunpowder Plot, the Civil Wars, Charles I’s execution, the Plague, the Great Fire, the Restoration, and then the Glorious Revolution: the seventeenth century was one of the most momentous times in the history of Britain, and Londoners took center stage. In this fascinating account, Margarette Lincoln charts the impact of national events on an ever-growing citizenry with its love of pageantry, spectacle, and enterprise. Lincoln looks at how religious, political, and financial tensions were fomented by commercial ambition, expansion, and hardship. In addition to events at court and parliament, she evokes the remarkable figures of the period, including Shakespeare, Bacon, Pepys, and Newton, and draws on diaries, letters, and wills to trace the untold stories of ordinary Londoners. Through their eyes, we see how the nation emerged from a turbulent century poised to become a great maritime power with London at its heart—the greatest city of its time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Republic and a Review of the World's History: Including the Achievements and Triumphs of Investors and Scientists in Making the Last Century the Greatest in the History of the World; A Lucid, Dispassionate Account of the Men and Events That Have Made Our Republic the Greatest Power of the World The best plan is to learn in what ways ancient history, or what men did in the early times, affected the history that followed. To do this it is necessary to learn only the most important acts of men when the world was young. A good many histories repeat numerous myths or legends, as they are called, most of which are untrue or at best very doubtful. Let us not burden our minds with such fables, for there is plenty to learn that is true. 'e will begin with the first record that can be depended upon and so come down to the present. Now you know that a history of the world is simply an account of what men have done. God made the earth, divided it into land and water, brought into being all forms of vegetable and animal life, and crowned His work by creating man and giving him dominion over all that was around him. One of the strange facts that no one fully understands is that while God created men in His own image, He made so wide a difference in their color and looks that we class them into distinct races or families. Most likely you have been taught that these are five in number, but a better division is to make only three, since every person can be grouped among one or another of these races. They are as follows: I. The Caucasian, who have a whitish skin, long silky hair and regular features. They are the greatest historical race and include the most highly civilized peoples. II. The Mongolian, who have as a rule, rough yellowish skin and coarse black hair. In this family are included the American Indians.
