Synopsis
Excerpt from Outlines of Universal History: From the Creation of the World to the Present Time After this, they and their posterity were obliged to spend their lives in labour and trouble, and to eat their bread in the sweat of their face. Evil passions and desires were awakened, and disturbed the peace of society; the violent impulses of a savage and unrestrained nature plunged the later generations deeper and deeper into the disorders of vice and crime, till at length a great ood called the deluge, destroyed the whole race with the exception of Noah and his descendants from the face of the earth. Noah's posterity, however, increased again so rapidly, that the later generations descended from his three sons, Shem, Ham, and J apheth, were compelled to spread themselves abroad over the neighbouring countries, on account of their home being no longer large enough to contain them. It then entered into their minds to erect the Tower of Babel, whose top was to reach unto heaven', and to be a perpetual memorial to them, God frustrated this presumptuous attempt by confusing their lan guage, and by this diversity of speech brought about their separation.

"Believing that a Guide to History can answer its object only when it awakens the interest of the pupil, stimulates his desire for information, and excites his zeal for inquiry, I have everywhere arrayed the historical material in a narrative form, and have endeavored to give clearness, consistency, and animation to that form. My effort has been so to bring together the events of the world's history in their more prominent aspects and decisive moments, that the reader may obtain a clear idea of them; that the important facts may be exhibited together with their causes and consequences, and thus be more strongly impressed upon the imagination, and consequently upon the memory; and that the course of the narrative may not be disturbed or broken by interpolations or remarks which might require a further explanation. Instead of following the usual course of compendiums, textbooks, and outlines, by heaping up a mass of materials in the smallest possible space, and thus forming a kind of skeleton register of the events of history, I have rather endeavored to limit, my materials, giving place only to the most important and influential, and arranging these in historical succession... Mere historical events, with names and dates, are not easily retained by the memory, and do not possess any instructive or educative power.

- s***s (15)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseSeller was fine, arrived promptly with good packaging and in perfect condition. But I should have asked questions about the book. It is really just a recreation of a collection of pages from old catalogues. I was hoping for more information & history of some of the Chickering models. This was not worth $18 to me. Would have been helpful if the seller had given examples of some pages.
