Book excerpt: Excerpt from Persia and the Persians The use of i in the spelling of Oriental words where e, for those employing the English language, would more correctly represent the actual pronunciation, is an anomaly that can be accounted for only on the ground that the Latins preceded the anglo-saxons in the East, and with them i is always 6. But in retaining the Latin orthography we forget that t in the Continental languages never has the long i sound peculiar to the English tongue.

Download or read book Ancient History written by Charles Rollin and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Rollin, a French historian and educator, took it upon himself to write compendiums of Ancient history. Rollin's Ancient History: History of the Persians is an in depth look at Persia through geography, politics, and history. The book begins exploring the "Physical History of Persia" which refers to the provinces of Persia. While exploring the Western, Eastern, and Central provinces, Rollin also goes into depth on specific places such as Gedrosia, Carmania, and Arachosia. Rollin also explores topical elements such as mountains, rivers, and lakes of note. In addition, he examines the climate of Persia and the multitude of things Persia produces. This physical history is a solid foundation for further exploration of Persia. The next section of the book explores political history. Rollins examines the power of Persian kings. He also discusses the Seven State Counselors, and administrative powers. In addition, he looks at both military power and priestly power in Persia. Rollin knows that understanding the political history of Persia helps the reader get a greater understanding of Persia as a whole. To increase the reader's knowledge of Persian politics, Rollin dedicates the next section to discussing specific Persian Kings and their reigns. Ultimately, it is the politics of Persia that truly interest Rollin and he dedicates the end of the book to discussing that and its importance. But while dynasties are ruled by kings and are powerful at one point in time, Rollin leaves the reader with a final thought: "In this age, power and empire are in the hands of one people; in the next, a nation unheard of before comes forth, and rudely plucks it from their hands. By whose direction do these things occur?" About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-12-24 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Persia From the Earliest Period to the Arab Conquest The history of Persia, as generally understood, may be considered as a supplement to that of Assyria and Babylonia, the events that have made her most famous in antiquity having been achieved after the empire of the first had passed away, and the second had been subjugated by the Persians. The small province of Persis (in the Bible Paras, in the native inscriptions Parsa), whence the name of Persia is derived, was bounded on the north by Media, on the south by the Persian Gulf and Indian Ocean, on the east by Caramania (Kerman), and on the west by Susiana. It was, indeed, nearly the same district as the modern Farsistan, the name of which is obviously derived from it; and in length and breadth not more than 450 and 250 miles respectively.
