Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ten Great Events in History, Vol. 2 Patriotism, or love of country, is one of the tests of nobility of character. No great man ever lived that was not a patriot in the highest and truest sense. From the earliest times, the sentiment of patriotism has been aroused in the hearts of men by the narrative of heroic deeds inspired by love of country and love of liberty. This truth furnishes the key to the arrangement and method of the present work. The ten epochs treated are those that have been potential in shaping subsequent events, and when men have struck blows for human liberty against odds and regardless of personal consequences. The simple narrative carries its own morals, and the most profitable work for the teacher will be to merely supplement the narrative so that the picture presented shall be all the more vivid. Moral reflections are wearisome and superfluous. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

D. 1908 Your request that I would send you an account of my uncle's death, in order to transmit a more exact relation of it to posterity, merits my acknowledgments; for, if the glorious circumstances which occasioned this accident shall be celebrated by your pen, the manner of his exit will be rendered forever illustrious. Notwithstanding he perished by a misfortune, which, as it involved at this time a most beautiful country in ruins, and destroyed so many populous cities, seems to promise him an everlasting remembrance; notwithstanding he has himself composed many works which will descend to the latest times; yet, I am persuaded, the mentioning of him in your immortal writings will greatly contribute to eternize his name.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Great Events, Vol. 5: By Famous Historians It is thus evident that there was a strong tendency toward union among the Franks. But there was also an outside influ ence to disrupt their empire. Charlemagne had not carried far enough their career of conquest. He subdued the Teutons within the limits of Germany, but he did not reach their weaker Scandinavian brethren to the north, the Danes and Norsemen. He chastised the Avars, a vague non-aryan people east of Ger many, but he could not make provision against future Asiatic swarms. He humbled the Arabs in Spain, but he did not break their African dominion. From all these sources, as the Franks grew weaker instead of stronger, their lands became exposed to new invasion. Let us take a moment to trace the fortunes of these outside races, though the main destiny Of the future still lay with Teu tonic Europe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Great Events in Modern History It has been very justly remarked, that to be really and extensively useful, a book must be entertaining. Those which lack this characteristic, however laudable may be their design, and however able, accurate, and minute their execution, cannot be generally useful, be cause the mass of readers will not read them through. They may buy them from a sense of duty, because they are said to be goool books, they may place them on a shelf and make a resolute attempt to read them occa sionally; but if the books are dry and repulsive, they are laid aside after the perusal of a few pages, and when repeated attempts to accomplish the heavy task have failed, the undertaking 1s given up in despair. The volume is spoken of with great respect, and permitted to enjoy a dignified repose on the upper shelf.

Excerpt: ...In fact, the aged Isaac was put to death, and was replaced by a prince of the imperial family, Alexius Alexius Mourzoufle, who showed himself equal to the Mourxoufle emergency in which he accepted the Empire. He began by rejecting the captious propositions of the Venetians, who still offered to be satisfied with a sum of money. They would by this means have ruined him, and have rendered him hateful to the people, like his predecessor. Mourzoufle levied money, indeed; but it was to employ it in his own defence. He armed vessels, and twice endeavored to burn the enemy's fleet. The situation of the Latins became precarious. However, Mourzoufle could not create soldiers at once. The crusaders were warriors of a far different st& the Greeks could not withstand their assau

Book excerpt: The great events in history are those where, upon special occasions, a man or a people have made a stand against tyranny, and have preserved or advanced freedom for the people. Sometimes tyranny has taken the form of the oppression of the many by the few in the same nation, and sometimes it has been the oppression of a weak nation by a stronger one. The successful revolt against tyranny, the terrible conflict resulting in the emancipation of a people, has always been the favorite theme of the historian, marking as it does a step in the progress of mankind from a savage to a civilized state.

They consulted the foremost living historians and professors of history, successful writers in other fields, statesmen, university and college presidents, and prominent business men.

The slowly progressing knowledge of the arts and handicrafts which we have seen passed down from Egypt to Babylonia, to Persia, Greece, and Rome, had not been acquired without heavy loss. The system of slavery which allowed the few to think, while the many were constrained to toil as beasts, had eaten like a canker into the heart Of society. The Roman world was repeating the oft-told tale Of the past, and sinking into the lifeless formalism Of which Egypt was the type. Man had become wise, but worthless.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Great Events, Vol. 6: By Famous Historians It was during the period of about one hundred fifty years, extending from the middle of the twelfth to the close of the thirteenth century, that the features of our modem civilization began to assume a recognizable form. The age was characterized by the decline of feudalism, and by the growth of all the new influences which combined to create a new state of society. With the decay of the great lords came the rise of the great cities, the increased power and importance of the middle classes, the burghers or "citizens," who dominate the world to-day. In opposition to these there came also an unforeseen accession of strength to kings. The boundaries of modem states grew more clearly defined; modem nationalities were distinctly established; Europe assumed something of the outline, something of the social character, which she still retains. The period includes not only the culmination and close of the crusading fervor, but also, coincident with this, the culmination of both the religious and the temporal powers of the popes, and the scarce recognized beginning of their decline. Universities, vaguely existent before, now increase rapidly in numbers and importance, receive definite outlines and foundations, and exert a mighty influence. In fact it has been not inaptly said that the rule of mediaeval Europe was divided amid three powers - the emperor, the pope, and the University of Paris.
