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 out that the references preceding each chapter have been chosen with a view to their use by the pupil as subjects for reports and essays, that the studies following each chapter are based On the text and are intended to furnish material for stimulating discussions in the class room, and that the maps and illustrations form an integral part of the text for purposes of study and recitation. It has seemed wise, from both an educational and a historical standpoint, to treat the geography of the Mediterranean world as a unit (chapter iv), and to set forth in two final chapters, similarly unified, the private antiquities and art of the classical peoples. Teachers who prefer the traditional order may easily separate the sections dealing with Greece from those dealing with Rome, and treat them separately.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
