Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Greatest Nations, And, the World's Famous Events Facing each picture is a brief description, telling its story and at the same time carrying onward the general history to the next illustration. Thus the picture descriptions form by themselves an outline account Of the world, complete, yet SO simple, SO vivid, SO emphasized by the pictures, that the merest child can follow it all with ease. Accompanying this runs the much fuller narrative Of the text, told clearly, accurately, with a careful avoidance Of technical phrases and labored explanations, yet with an earnest insistence on history's larger meanings, the lessons which it carries for us all.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Greatest Nations, Vol. 78: With One Thousand of the World's Famous Events Portrayed in Word and Picture The Danes still sing with pride of the great victory they gained at Coburg. The battle was desperate. W King Christian was sorely wounded in the head; but when his people thought him dying, he rallied and declared that God had spared him so he might save their country from destruction. Then after a solemn prayer he led his men back into the fight, and won it in the end. Yet he could not save exhausted Denmark from yielding to a ruinous peace, by which she surrendered much territory to Sweden.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Greatest Nations, Vol. 76: With One Thousand of the World's Famous Events Portrayed in Word and Picture A glance at the map will show how closely the three king doms are connected. Their people have been sailors, sea rovers, since the earliest dawn of our knowledge of them. So that their narrow, 'island-crowded straits and seas have not divided but united them. They have often been held by a single ruler and their history is so closely interwoven, their people are so alike, that really they are one nation rather than three. Norway has always been what the map shows it, a single narrow strip of mountainous Atlantic coast line, deeply indented with rockbound fiords. Denmark is a region of many sea-washed islands, low and sandy. Sweden has a mountainous highland of Dalecarlia sweeping down into broad lake-covered plains, a land almost as much enwrapped in water as the Danish islands.

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

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Greatest Nations, Vol. 2: From the Dawn of History to the Twentieth Century Athens into a maritime power. Themistocles was a sagacious though selfish statesman, who foresaw that Persia would ere long renew her attempt to conquer Greece, which would be helpless without a powerful navy. The leading men in Athens at this time were Miltiades, Themistocles, and Aristides. Because of his pure patriotism, Aristides was known as the Just, but he was stubborn and impracticable and in these days would be called a crank. He bitterly opposed the policy of Themistocles, and the people finally became so impatient with his obduracy that they ostracized him. It is said that a countryman, not knowing Aristides, asked him to write his name in favor of the measure, and when calmly asked by the patriot his reason for doing so, he replied that it was merely because he was tired of forever hearing of Aristides the just. Be that as it may, it was undoubtedly a good thing that Athens was freed of his presence for a few years.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Greatest Nations, Vol. 56: With One Thousand of the World's Famous Events Portrayed in Word and Picture The loyal and patriotic Spaniards rose in desperate; revolt against the French ruler thus thrust upon them. They had no king and no generals, no funds and moiregular army. But every city became a center of defiant resistance, a stronghold which the French must besiege or storm. The defense of Sara gossa, the ancient capital of Aragon, is particularly celebrated. Its citizens were chiefly under the lead of'their priests, but they selected Parafoii a member of the old nobility as their nominal head, and made him captain general of Aragon. When the city was attacked, the priests preached the duty of resistance and the people fought in every street. For two months they held back the French troops and finally drove them from the city. A second-siege and assault the following winter proved more successful; but the city was not finally captured until sixty thousand of its citizens had perished.

He penetrated to the Pacific coast of Siberia and there built ships for himself and boldly sailed still farther eastward out upon the Pacific Ocean. He was thus the first to discover the sea and strait which lie between Siberia and which bear his name. He even crossed Behring Sea and so discovered the bleak shores of Alaska and took possession of that portion of America' s coast for Russia.
