Book Description
Excerpt from Outlines of Ancient History: For the Use of High Schools and Academies This book is intended to describe in a simple and compre hensive way the progress of civilization among the peoples of the ancient world. It seeks to illustrate the realhistor ical significance of these peoples, and to point out the contri butions which each has made to the progress of mankind. The significance of each country is estimated by the per manent elements of its civilization, or those elements which have survived after the nation has passed away. The purpose of the book is, therefore, not simply to describe the growth of separate countries, but to indicate in a general way the continuity of ancient history. The usual division of ancient history into Oriental, Greek, and Roman, has been followed not only as the most con venient arrangement, but as affording the means to illustrate in a satisfactory way the progressive stages in the growth of ancient civilization. A brief sketch of the Oriental countries is given to show the beginnings of man's industrial life and the initial stages in the development of government, art, science, and religion. The Greek world'is viewedas the historical field especially distinguished for the growth of political liberty and the development of a high intellec tual and aesthetic culture. In describing the Roman world, the attempt has been made to keep clearly in view that which has given to Rome its distinctive place in the world's history - the genius for organization, the growth of an imperial dominion, and the development of a universal system of government and law.

Book Description
Excerpt from Outlines of Ancient History From the Earliest Times to the Fall of the Roman Empire in the West, A D. 476 Histories, projected by thc'syndics of the Cambridge University Press. Of the scope' and aim of the book I have written in the Introduction; but I have a few further remarks to make, which seem to belong rather to a preface. The vastness of the period which my work covers naturally precludes any claim to high originality on my part; compelled, as I have been, to rely largely on the labours of others, I have endeavoured to use my best judgment in the choice of authorities and my utmost care and conscientiousness in the use of them. Wherever my own reading has made it possible, I have exercised an independent judgment; and, on some sections, where my own knowledge fell short, I have enjoyed the invaluable assistance of friends. That I have avoided all errors and partial statements is more than I dare hope: for all such sins of omission and commission I can. Only ask for a merciful judgment.

Book Description
This volume covers the history of the Roman Empire from the accession of Septimius Severus in AD 193 to the death of Constantine in AD 337. This period was one of the most critical in the history of the Mediterranean world. It begins with the establishment of the Severan dynasty as a result of civil war. From AD 235 this period of relative stability was followed by half a century of short reigns of short-lived emperors and a number of military attacks on the eastern and northern frontiers of the empire. This was followed by the First Tetrarchy (AD 284-305), a period of collegial rule in which Diocletian, with his colleague Maximian and two junior Caesars (Constantius and Galerius), restabilised the empire. The period ends with the reign of the first Christian emperor, Constantine, who defeated Licinius and established a dynasty which lasted for thirty-five years.

Book Description
Excerpt from Ancient History Since the key has been found to the meaning of 'the innumerable monuments, which for so many centuries had kept their secret, it has become possible to construct a record of the Ages in question, as authentic, in many respects, as the history Of our own country. This sketch of Ancient History embodies the results of the latest investigations on the subject, and in that respect it will be found more interesting and complete than any account of the same period hitherto published.

Book Description
Excerpt from Outlines of Lectures on Ancient History History examples more or less applicable to our own times and circumstances, from which we may learn the probable effects of various lines of conduct in affecting the interests of states: but here too the lessons are but imperfect, and the inferences easily to be evaded, or altered, by slightly heightening or depressing the prominence of this or that particular in each story. However, be it granted that in many ways, like these, History does directly contribute to great and useful purposes; still these benefits will not account for its great and universal hold on mankind. Surely the true and real principle of our interest in the past lies in this, - that we, and all those who have lived before on the earth, are one great Family; separated indeed in point of time, and often in place and country, but still all related together by many ties: and above all, that though some are departed from the earth, yet all are alive - we indeed alone in the flesh, but they too in their respective places truly, really, and immortally alive. It is this inward sense, this instinctive consciousness, which make men, who lived and were tried and tempted like ourselves, our brethren. Thus we are, and feel that we are, much bound to the dead. Even the heathen dead shared with us so many of those things which are most important to us, - bodies and souls like ours, desires and dangers, a natural law of virtue and self-government, and many offences against it, -and above all, a real immortality, leading to a real judgment, -that they are truly our brethren, truly and ten derly allied to us. Still more closely bound to us, and by more sacred and mysterious ties, are the Christian dead, - the whole number of those, who, being members with us of the Body of Christ, have gone through their trials upon earth, and are now waiting, soon to be joined by ourselves, for their last and endless doom. And of these, our own countrymen are the nearest to us of all nearest, from the actual bond of blood and country that is between us; nearest, from their sharing in that national oneness which all men acknowledge, and which God hath ever recognized in His dealings with Nations.
