Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Stories of Ancient Peoples
This little volume is intended as supplementary reading for schools. It does not claim to be more than a series of sketches, lea?ets from the inexhaustible record book of the ancient past.
It is hoped that these sketches will prove an interest ing and stimulating preliminary to the study of ancient Oriental history, and, by thus leading back to the infancy of nations, incite to investigation in the fascinating field of prehistoric archaeology, the first Act in the great Life Drama of mankind.
Although the chapters of this book do not form a con tinned narrative, they will have their full meaning only if read in the order in which they are placed. I have endeavored to bring out the salient points in each national character, and by contrasting one with another, make it easier for youthful students to retain a separate picture of each.
