Opis: A Brief History of Ancient, Medi?val, and Modern Peoples - Steele Joel Dorman

Excerpt from A Brief History of Ancient, Medival, and Modern Peoples: With Some Account of Their Monuments, Institutions, Arts, Manners and Customs<br><br>The plan of the Barnes's Brief History Series has been thoroughly tested in the books already issued - United States, and France - and their extended use and approval are evidence of its general excellence. In this work, the political history, which occupies most, if not all, of the ordinary school-text, is condensed to the salient and essential facts, in order to give room for some account of the literature, religion, architecture, character, and habits of the different nations. Surely, it is as important to know something about Plato as all about Caesar; to learn how the ancients wrote their books as how they fought their battles; and to study the virtues of the old Germans and the dawn of our own customs in English home-life, as to trace the petty squabbles of Alexander's successors or the intricacies of the Wars of the Roses.<br><br>The Chapters on Manners and Customs and the Scenes in Real Life represent the people of history as men and women subject to the same wants, hopes, and fears as ourselves, and so bring the distant past near to us. The Scenes, which are intended only for reading, are the result of a careful study of the unequaled collections of monuments in the London, Paris, and Berlin Museums, of the ruins in Rome and Pompeii, and of the latest authorities on the domestic life of the peoples of other lands and times.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
