Famous Men of Ancient Times (Classic Reprint) by S. G. Goodrich Pdf

Excerpt from Famous Men of Ancient Times The reader of these pages will perhaps remark, that the length of the following sketches is hardly proportioned to the relative importance of the several subjects, regarded in a merely historical point of view. In explanation of this fact, the author begs leave to say, that, while he intended to present a series of the great beacon lights that shine along the shores of the past, and thus throw a continuous gleam over the dusky sea of ancient history, - he had still other Views. His chief aim is moral culture and the several articles have been abridged or extended, as this control ling purpose might be subserved.

Famous Men of Rome (Classic Reprint) by John Henry Haaren Pdf

Not until these have been fixed in memory will the lesser features fall into their appropriate places and assume their right proportions.

Famous Men of Greece (Classic Reprint) by John H. Haaren Pdf

Excerpt from Famous Men of Greece The famous men of ancient and modern times are the mountain peaks of history. It is logical then that the study of history should begin with the biographies of these men. Not only is it logical it is also pedagogical. Experience has proven that in order to attract and hold the child's attention each conspicuous feature of history presented to him should have an individual for its center. The child identifies himself with the personage presented. It is not Romulus or Hercules or Caesar or Alexander that the child has in mind when he reads, but himself, acting under similar conditions. Prominent educators, appreciating these truths, have long recognized the value of biography as a preparation for the study of history and have given it an important place in their scheme of studies.

Ancient Times, a History of the Early World by James Henry Breasted Pdf

Excerpt from Ancient Times, a History of the Early World: An Introduction to the Study of Ancient History and the Career of Early Man Finally, when we recall that the leading religion of the world the one which still dominates Western civilization to-day came to us out of the Orient; when we further remember that before it fell the Roman Empire was completely orientalized, it would appear to be only fair to our schools to give them books furnish ing an adequate treatment of pre-greek civilization. This does not mean to question for a moment the undeniable supremacy of Greek culture, or to give it any less space than before. The author believes that no one who reads the chapters on Greece in this survey will gain the impression that Hellas has been sac rificed to Moloch in other words, to her oriental predecessors.

The Story of the Greek People, an Elementary History of Greece (Classic Reprint) by Eva March Tappan Pdf

Excerpt from The Story of the Greek People, an Elementary History of Greece The plan of this book is not only to present a simple outline of the chief events in the history of ancient Greece, but also to picture the customs of the people, their manner of living and thinking and feeling. So far as the size and scope of the little volume will permit, the names of those who were masters in art and literature are introduced, not in separate chapters as mere adjuncts to political history, but in their natural connection with the annals of their times, and ever in accordance with Plutarch's dictum, Often an action of small note, a short saying or a jest, shall distinguish a person's real character more than the greatest sieges or the most important battles.

Noted Men and Historical Narrations of Ancient Milton (Classic Reprint) by A. K. Teele Pdf

Excerpt from Noted Men and Historical Narrations of Ancient Milton Ladies and Gentlemen of the School Committee: At your request I have prepared brief statements respecting those of our early inhabitants whose names you propose to affix to our common schools. The men whom you have selected were in their day, without exception, representative men. They were men of stalwart character, strong, wise, God-fearing men; earnest in purpose and decided in action, who could be safely trusted with the affairs of Church and State. Such are the individuals whom you have selected, from the vast number of their compeers, to give names to the schools of Milton, whose rare qualities of heart and mind, in many particulars, all our sons and daughters may well emulate. Never were more truthful words uttered than those of Governor Stoughton, in his Election Sermon, 1668: - "God sifted a whole nation that he might send choice grain over into this wilderness." Belcher School. It is proposed to name the East School the Belcher School. Jonathan Belcher was born in Cambridge, Mass., Jan. 8, 1681, and graduated at Harvard College in 1699, in a class of twelve.

Lays of Ancient Rome (Classic Reprint) by Thomas Babington Macaulay Pdf

Excerpt from Lays of Ancient Rome Even in the age of Plutarch there were discerning men who rejected the popular account of the foundation of Rome, because that account appeared to them to have the air, not of a history, but of a romance or a drama. Plutarch, who was displeased at their incredulity, had nothing better to say in reply to their arguments than that chance sometimes turns poet, and produces trains of events not to be distinguished from the most elaborate plots which are constructed by art.* But though the existence of a poetical element in the early history of the Great City was detected so many ages ago.
