Excerpt from The World in the Middle Ages: An Historical Geography In introducing a new Work to the Public, it is expected that some account should be given of its inception, design, scope, and prosecution. Whilst delivering a course of lectures two years since in Providence, on Mediaeval History, I found no geographical work in English Literature, illustrating that period to which I could refer. This want suggested the present work. The Geography of the Ancient World presents no such deficiency, having been elucidated since the seventeenth century by the master-minds of Cellarius, Cluverius, Danville, and still more recently by Rennel, Mannert, Heeren, Uckert, and others. Much light has also been thrown on the remote ages of civilization by the late philological discoveries in Egypt and Persia, and the excavations of Nineveh. Yet the no less important period of the Middle Ages, though so thoroughly investigated by the modern Historian, has still remained comparatively neglected by the Geographer. Mediaeval Atlases have been published by C. Kruse (translated into French by Felix Ansart) and by Charles Spruner; but these being defective in letter-press, containing only scanty notes, and mere dry, historical tables, leave the student to depend on his own resources in the explanation of the maps. Thus no general comprehensive Geography, embracing the mediaeval times down to the close of the fifteenth century, has yet appeared to supply the want which must be felt by every student of Gibbon, Hallam, Sismondi, Guizot, and the other numerous writers treating of that era. It occurred to me, therefore, that my collectanea, made during my long residence in Italy and Greece, together with my notes of travel in the East - partly embodied in my Providence Lectures - might furnish me with ample materials for the composition of a work which would supply, at least in part, the wants of the student of Mediaeval History. Having met with encouragement from my publishers, the idea has been carried out, and I now offer to the public the "World in the Middle Ages." I have attempted to present an accurate geographical description of the world during the different periods of time from the ultimate division of the Roman Empire at the death of Theodosius the Great, A.D. 395, down to the conquest of Constantinople by the Ottoman Turks in the East, and the discovery of America in the West. That the dry details of Geography might not become tedious, I have occasionally introduced personal sketches, and notices of mediaeval institutions, with side-glances at the religions, languages, and literatures of the different nations. I have endeavored likewise to give that prominence to the Scandinavians, the Sclavonians, Tartars, and other Eastern tribes which their important influence on history demands; but which hitherto has been denied them. In the Geography of Ecclesiastical History, I have followed Rev. John E. Wiltsch. I have entered into more than usual detail on the Byzantine Empire, Greece, and the Eastern States, both with the hope of illustrating the brilliant pages of Gibbon and the Chroniclers of the Crusades; and in view of the important part which these Countries are about to act in the present crisis that seems to threaten the entire political system of Europe. I am indebted for the selection of my maps, to Professor George W. Greene's translation of Dr. Spruner's great Historical Atlas. For my authorities, I refer the reader to the footnotes, and the list of authors on the closing page of the Work. I have also carefully compiled Historical and Geographical Indices, referring to the number of the paragraph in every instance where the name occurs. I would ask the kind forbearance of the Public with regard to some occasional foreign expressions or turns of thought, which possibly may betray the author as a Dane. If this, my first attempt in ."

In the history of Europe, the Middle Ages (or Medieval Period) lasted from the 5th to the 15th century. It began with the fall of the Western Roman Empire and merged into the Renaissance and the Age of Discovery. The Middle Ages is the middle period of the three traditional divisions of Western history: classical antiquity, the medieval period, and the modern period. The medieval period is itself subdivided into the Early, High, and Late Middle Ages.

An excerpt from the Princeton Review, Volume 27: THE most familiar fact to everyone at all acquainted with contemporary writings and opinions in relation to the Middle Ages, is, that they run very much into extremes, alternately describing that mysterious period as one of unbroken darkness or unclouded light, perceptibly higher or immeasurably lower, as to some particulars at least of intellectual and moral condition, than the times immediately before and after. The primary cause of this extravagance is no doubt to be sought in the excitement of controversy between Protestants and Papists, both in the age of the Reformation, and at every later period, when that warfare has been renewed or carried on with more than wonted vigour; so that neither party has been able or willing for the time to admit any truth whatever in the statements of the other, lest the yielding of an outpost should involve the capture or surrender of the citadel. The lapse of time, instead of weakening the tendency to these extremes, has served to strengthen them, by changing temporary movements into habits, and by causing violent reaction to intensify the impulses themselves. The extreme of partiality or favor to the medieval church —— for it is only in this ecclesiastical aspect that we now present the subject—may be more particularly represented as arising partly from a self-defensive movement on the part of Rome and her admirers, but also from causes of more recent origin, connected with extensive changes in prevailing modes of thought and standards of comparison. One of these later causes is the powerful propensity, especially among the Germans, to unsettle everything established, and to give the benefit of every doubt to what is new and paradoxical; a disposition nurtured, if it is not generated, by the national methods of instruction, and especially by that excessive rivalry of teachers in the same institutions, which is one of the most characteristic features of the German universities, and which, by creating a perpetual demand for something new, as an attraction to the student, for whose patronage the teachers are competing, often leads men who know better to violate their own convictions, both of truth and duty, with as little scruple or compunction as a school-boy feels, in taking what he knows to be the wrong side of a question, in a juvenile debating club.To this morbid appetite for novelty and paradox, a daintier bait could not have been presented than the hope of revolutionizing old opinions, even among Protestants, in reference to what have long been known as the “Dark Ages,” but which these reckless demonstrators, by their novum organum of antiquarian and critical research, have not the slightest difficulty in evincing to have been light ages in comparison with ours, to their own satisfaction, or at least to that of many readers. For we have a shrewd suspicion that some of the most popular discoveries of this kind, and the most unquestionable in the estimation of the younger Germans and the weaker Germano-laters, are not believed at all by those who broach them, but propounded as mere tests and triumphs of inventive genius, or of logical and dialectic skill—first in the auditorium or lecture room, and then, by a transition almost certain and invariable, through the press.
