In detailing these events, however, it con cerns itself with their relation, and seeks to point out the connection of cause and effect that exists between them. A bare catalogue of unrelated facts, though true in themselves, would not make history in the modern sense. There must be some definite principle on which the selection of the facts is based. This principle is that a fact, in order to have bistori cal value, must help to explain what goes before or what comes after in the life of a people. Kinds of History. - It is clear that the past life of mankind may be regarded from different points of view. Thus, if the special purpose is to show how men have advanced in knowl edge from age to age, and what influences have quickened their minds or changed their modes of thought, the narrative is called Intellectual History. If the object is to point out the changes which have taken place in men's ideas of right and wrong, and to trace the development of moral standards, the work is termed a History of Morals. Political History deals with the external events in the life of a nation, showing its varying relations to other nations and to its own government. Constitutional History has to do with changes in the form and principles of government, and in the character and administra tion of law; Economic History, with the past conditions of a people in respect to the possession and acquisition of wealth. So the particular field to which the narrative is confined de termines how the history is to be classified. It is very difficult, however, to keep these departments distinct, as events which properly fall within the scope of one department have often a very important bearing on those which belong to another. A history which gives anything like a complete narrative of past events must investigate the facts pertaining to all sides of a nation's life.

In my book entitled "The Great Events of History" I have described in succession the great landmarks of the Christian Centuries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outlines General History The present volume is designed for students who have not yet reached the point at which the special historical studies should properly begin. For advanced work specialization is of course indispensable, and historical "Outlines" are useful only in the early stages of the study or for purposes of general review. But within this limited sphere their functions are very important, since they not only supply the point of view which the student who specializes too early in his course is apt to neglect, but they aid the memory by affording a convenient nucleus for later acquisitions of knowledge. In writing them as well as in using them it is necessary to remember that they are intended to be suggestive and not exhaustive, and that compression means the omission of some topics that seem equal in importance to others which have been included. The preparation of such a volume is in fact a problem in selection. A fairly complete chronological summary can perhaps be comprised within a single volume, but a general history which can be read without undue weariness and remembered without undue exertion must either overrun the space or limit its topics. The present "Outlines" have been prepared with this fact in mind, and while the writer has attempted to cover as wide a field as possible, he has chosen at some points rather to restrict his scope than to give a mere catalogue of events.
