Prelude To Modern Europe PDF Download

Excerpt from The Prelude to Modern History: Being a Brief Sketch of the World's History To these might be added (4) The Rise and Spread of Mohammedanism; but I treat this rather as an exciting episode than as a main part of my story. This period seldom forms part of a school or college curriculum. Yet it is plain that every moderately educated person should know something of the forces which contributed to build up modern Europe, and of the way in which the civilized world was converted to Christianity. I hope, therefore, that this book may find readers amongst those who have not time or inclination to study larger works on the subject.
