Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve ...

Excerpt from Early European HistoryThis book aims to furnish a concise and connected account of human progress during ancient, medieval, and early modern times. It should meet the requirements of those high schools and prepara tory schools where ancient history, as a separate discipline, is being supplanted by a more extended course introductory to the study of recent times and contemporary problems. Such a course was first outlined by the Reg...

The entire work has been written since the outbreak of the World War, and its probable consequences have been kept constantly in mind. ...

It covers the entire historic field, together with a chapter on prehistoric times, it presents a survey of human progress, rather than a chronological outline of events, it is intended for that large body of students who, for various reasons, do not take more than one year of history in the high school.

Excerpt from Ancient HistoryThis Ancient History needs, I trust, no extended introduction. In its preparation due regard has been paid to the recommendations of the Committee of Seven and the Committee of Five, to the requirements of the College Entrance Examination Board, and to the opinions of prae ticed teachers in various parts of the country. The pedagogi appa ratus supplied may be used in a variety of ways. It is sufficient here to point...

To facilitate omissions and to aid in the comprehension of the subject matter, I hav...
