Book Description
Excerpt from Beacon Lights of History, Vol. 1: Part I. The Old Pagan Civilizations; Part II. Jewish Heroes and Prophets Though it is history, biography, philosophy, and science in pemmican, it is literature also; it is anything but tasteless and dry. It can be read in sections and at intervals, or it can form the basis of systematic studious ness. As a book for the fireside shelf, taken down for a chapter at a time, it a little resembles that once-famous book Half-hours with the Best Authors, but it shows a wider essor and scope; another name for 'it might be Half-hours with the Best that has been Known, Thought, and Done. It is no scrappy half-hour compilation, how ever, fugitive in interest, unsustained in conception or execution; the author's eye saw deep as well as far. Dr. Lord was scholar and teacher as well as writer, and he made this book a treasury of philosophic wisdom. Yet its popular title is no misnomer; the village library, the school book-shelf, and the boy's bookcase may house it as fitly as the student's desk.

Book Description
Excerpt from Beacon Lights of History If I have persisted in adhering to the truths that have been generally accepted for nearly two thousand years, I have not disregarded the light which has been recently shed on important points by the great critics of the progressive schools. In the preparation of this volume, together with one treating of The Old Pagan Civilizations, as an introduction to the Beacon Lights of History, I am most happy to acknowledge the great assistance I have had from Mr. Howard, of the publishing firm of Fords, Howard, and Hulbert, and from Mr. Stevens, the able proof-reader connected with the Cambridge.

Book Description
RELIGIOUS FAITH. From a religious point of view, Abraham appears to us, after the lapse of nearly four thousand years, as the most august character in history. He may not have had the genius and learning of Moses, nor his executive ability; but as a religious thinker, inspired to restore faith in the world and the worship of the One God, it would be difficult to find a man more favored or more successful.
