Book Description
Excerpt from Outlines of Modern History, on a New Plan Sec. 1. Writers who have divided History into Ancient and Modern, are not agreed as to the most convenient sepa rating line between them. Some have taken the subversion of the Western Empire of the Romans as the dividing period; and others the establishment Of the New Empire of the West, under Charlemagne. We however agree with a third, and probably a more numerous class, who adopt the commencement Of the Christian Era as the line of separa tion. In this there is an evident propriety.

Book Description
Excerpt from Outlines of Modern History, on a New Plan Modern History presents so wide and varied a field, that a volume of the ordinary size is scarcely adequate to the purpose, of pointing out all even of the more striking objects, which such a field contains. Indeed, comparatively little can be hoped to be achieved in a very condensed narrative of the events of modern ages, on the common plan. It would be apt to become a barren outline, or dry abstract, with little to interest or instruct the mind of the reader, and this, almost from the necessity of the case. The conciseness which is studied would preclude all minute relation, and with that the chief charm of history. The character of many publications of this class, otherwise very valuable, has suffered from such a cause. By the use of two sizes of type, this inconvenience is remedied in a degree, if there be sufficient skill in the execution; and a considerable space within a given compass, is thus allowed, for lively and entertaining matter not essentially connected with the leading facts or frame-work of history. The latter, necessarily dry in themselves, and having few attractions for common minds, but very important to every one who would obtain a correct idea of the course of events, may be all confined to the larger type: and thus, while a very brief epitome of history is presented in that part, the reader is at the same time, by means of the smaller type, made acquainted with details which will enliven the narrative, and the better impress the more material facts on his mind.

Book Description
Excerpt from An Outline of Modern History: A Syllabus With Map Studies This syllabus represents a modest attempt to provide teachers and students with a guide to the study of modern history. The book has been so arranged as to permit of considerable elasticity in its use; it is intended to be suggestive rather than authoritative. The topical outline is planned to be neither too abbreviated to provide a compre hensive basis for study nor so elaborate as to furnish the student with a substitute for careful note - taking. It is believed that the syllabus will Offer to teachers a useful plan for collegiate courses in history, without infringing upon the individual's ideas of the relative importance of different parts of the work. Therefore, the topical outline has not been divided into lessons or assignments; no list of books for review or of topics for essays has been appended; no hard and fast rules have been laid down for the map studies. To students - particularly that rapidly growing number who study at home - it is hoped that the syllabus will prove valuable as an aid in the evaluation and co-ordination of facts, as well as in providing a general plan of study.

Book Description
Excerpt from Outlines General History History defined. History is the record of past events in the life of mankind. In detailing these events, however, it con cerns itself with their relation, and seeks to point out the connection of cause and effect that exists between them. A bare catalogue of unrelated facts, though true in themselves, would not make history in the modern sense. There must be some definite principle on which the selection of the facts is based. This principle is that a fact, in order to have bistori cal value, must help to explain what goes before or what comes after in the life of a people. Kinds of History. - It is clear that the past life of mankind may be regarded from different points of view. Thus, if the special purpose is to show how men have advanced in knowl edge from age to age, and what influences have quickened their minds or changed their modes of thought, the narrative is called Intellectual History. If the object is to point out the changes which have taken place in men's ideas of right and wrong, and to trace the development of moral standards, the work is termed a History of Morals. Political History deals with the external events in the life of a nation, showing its varying relations to other nations and to its own government. Constitutional History has to do with changes in the form and principles of government, and in the character and administra tion of law; Economic History, with the past conditions of a people in respect to the possession and acquisition of wealth. So the particular field to which the narrative is confined de termines how the history is to be classified. It is very difficult, however, to keep these departments distinct, as events which properly fall within the scope of one department have often a very important bearing on those which belong to another. A history which gives anything like a complete narrative of past events must investigate the facts pertaining to all sides of a nation's life.

Excerpt from An Outline of United States History Room. It has been the experience of the author that pupils, as a class, -know only the his tory obtained from a common school text book. The object of this Outline is to encourage inves tigation. Our views should be broad, our knowl edge thorough. The author has endeavored to suggest, at least, every essential point requisite to the knowledge of our history, and around these vital events to arrange those facts less im portant. If this little book should be the means of giving any one a truer conception of our his tory the author will feel that his work has not.
