Cyclopedia Of Universal History Vol 16 Of 16 PDF Download

Excerpt from Cyclopedia of Universal History, Vol. 3 of 16: Embracing the Most Complete and Recent Presentation of the Subject in Two Principal Parts or Divisions of More Than Six Thousand Pages In the following pages I shall attempt to delineate the part which this great stock of mankind performed in the evo lution of civilization, not indeed as a mere historical agent displaying its force in institutional forms, in Senates and cities, in wars and thoroughfares, but as an organic, living entity, growing and spreading in the human manner until the branches thereof were stretched out over a large part of the bigness of the earth and the better part of the hu man family. That I' shall be able to depict the evolution of the Greek and Latin races -as 'amply and well as the place of those races was conspicuous and majestic in the ancient civilization, I do not expect; but that I may be able to present much of interest and something that is original in generalization and deduction is my desire and hope.
