Synopsis
Excerpt from Outlines of Universal History, Vol. 1: Designed as a Text-Book and for Private Reading IN writing this work I have endeavored to provide a manual suited to more advanced students. My idea of such a work was, that it should present. The essential facts of history in due order, and in conformity to the best and latest researches that it should point out clearly the connection of events and of successive eras with one another; that through the interest awakened by the natural, unforced view gained of this unity of history, and by such illustrative incidents as the brevity of the narrative would allow to be wrought into it, the dryness of a mere summary should be, as far as possible, relieved; and that, finally, being a book intended for pupils and readers of all classes, it should be free from sectarian partiality, and should limit itself to well-established judgments and conclusions on all matters subject to party contention. Respecting one of the points just referred to, I can say that, in composing this work, I have myself been more than ever impressed with Me unity of fiz'story, and affected by this great and deeply moving drama that is still advancing into a future that is hidden from view. I can not but hope that this feeling, spontaneous and vivid in my own mind, may communicate itself to the reader in his progress through these pages.

The subject of history is man. His tory has for its Object to record his doings and experiences. It may then be concisely defined as a narrative of past events in which men have been concerned. TO describe the earth, the abode of man, to delineate the different kingdoms Of nature, and to inquire into the origin Of them, or to explain the physical or mental Constitution Of human beings, is no part Of the Office Of history. All this belongs to the departments of natural and intel lectual science. But history, as we now understand the term, is more than a bare record Of what men have done and suffered. It aims to point out the connection Of events with one another. It seeks to ex plain the causes and the consequences Of things that Occur. It would trace the steps that mark the progress of the race, and of the different portions Of it, through extended periods. It brings to light the thread which unites each particular stage in the career Of a people, or Of mankind as a whole, with what went before, and with what came after.

Thank you for the great communication and customer service. It looked exactly like the description and I'm pleased with the value of it. Thanks for producing a quality product that is almost impossible to find now. Most of all, thanks for making it right when it was wrong.The Writings and Speeches of Grover Cleveland (Classic Reprint) (#135167120478)
- s***s (17)- 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.

I am a former Bookstore sole-propietor and know the importance of overall service that ensures customer satisfaction. Forgotten Books has met this criteria.
