Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Short History of Ancient Times
The present volume consists of the first half of my second revised "General History," with merely such changes in a few matters of detail as were necessary in order to make the book independent of the last half of that work, which part is to be issued as a separate volume under the title of "A Short History of Mediaeval and Modern Times."
