Willis Historical Reader, Based on the Great Events of History, from the Creation of Man Till the Present Time (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Willis Historical Reader, Based on the Great Events of History, From the Creation of Man Till the Present Time The object of both author and editor has been to present in a series of pictures, each with its dominant point or points of inter est, the nine great periods into which human history has been divided. To these, in the present edition, a tenth has been added, in order to bring the story down to the present day. To pre serve the characteristics of the book, it has been found necessary to depart, at times, from strict chronological sequence.w Thus, in order to give a united view of the progress of affairs in England and America, from the discovery by Columbus, the Old World story is interrupted, and is not resumed until we reach the end of the American War of 1812. Then we return to the Europe of the sixteenth century, to note the rise of the Dutch Republic and the events of the Thirty Years' War.
