History Of The World From The Creation To The Fall Of The Western Roman Empire PDF Download

Excerpt from Illustrated Universal History: A Clear and Concise History of All Nations, With a Full History of the United States to the Close of the First 100 Years of Our National Independence For convenience, though somewhat arbitrarily, the work is divided into three parts, each containing the record of an important era in the history of the world. Book First contains an historical account of the ancient world, embracing the period from the Creation of Man to the Fall of the Western Roman Empire, A. D. 476. Book Second embraces the history of the Middle Ages, comprising the time from the Fall of the Western Roman Empire to the Discovery of America, inclusive. Book, Third comprises a record of the modern period, describing the epoch from the Discovery of America to the present time. Great historical events have been arranged logically rather than chronologically, and great care has been taken to detail facts in proportion to their relative impor tance. The author has also taken great pains to omit what is irrelevant, and he has selected from the great mass of historical matter those events which have exerted a controlling influence upon the destinies of the world.
