He gives first a general sketch of ancient and modern history - a rapid and comprehensive bird's-eye view, as it were, of the rise and progress of nations, the most important incidents of their career, and their relations to each other; and after this he takes up the nations separately, furnishing a concise digest of all that it is im portant or desirable to know concerning each, and thus affording a sort of key to the changes and events that were more brie y indicated, rather by their results than by their incidents, in the general sketch or outline. Thus the salient points of history are brought within a manageable com pass, and an excellent foundation is laid for more thorough and extensive reading in reference to any portion of the world or any epoch of which a complete knowledge may be desired.
