Book Description

Excerpt from Epoch Men, and the Results of Their Lives "There never ceases in this world of ours Work for the good and noble. God decides The issues and the limits of all powers. O'er history and life He, sole, presides; He penetrates with organising force Epochs and institutions; every change Receives from Him the order of its course; And states derive their sovereignty and range. Creative conquest built old Empires up Which could not bear the moral analyst; They filled the measure of their granted cup, Then God's true civiliser rose in Christ. States vivified by faith in Him are strong, And such a State was built by Charlemagne.' - L. U. Masilene. "Charlemagne laid the first solid foundation for a permanent system of Christian government and institutions." - Fred. von Schlegel. "The name of Charlemagne has come down to us as one of the greatest in history. Though not the founder of his dynasty, he has given his name both to his race and his age." - Guizot.
