TAILIEUCHUNG - A GENERAL HISTORY FOR COLLEGES AND HIGH SCHOOLS

This volume is based upon my _Ancient History_ and _Mediæval and Modern History_.

BY P. V. N. MYERS . Illustration VIEW OF THE ATTIC PLAINS WITH A GLIMPSE OF THE ACROPOLIS OF . PREFACE. This volume is based upon my _Ancient History_ and Medieval and Modern History_. In some instances I have changed the perspective and the proportions of the narrative but in the main the book is constructed upon the same lines as those drawn for the earlier works. In dealing with so wide a range of facts and tracing so many historic movements I cannot hope that I have always avoided falling into error. I have however taken the greatest care to verify statements of fact and to give the latest results of discovery and criticism. Considering the very general character of the present work an enumeration of the books that have contributed facts to my narration or have helped to mould my views on this or that subject would hardly be looked for yet I wish here to acknowledge my special indebtedness in the earlier parts of the history to the works of George Rawlinson Sayce Wilkinson Brugsch Grote Curtius Mommsen Merivale and Leighton and in the later parts and on special periods to the writings of Hodgkin Emerton Ranke Freeman Michaud Bryce Symonds Green J. R. Motley Hallam Thiers Lecky Baird and Muller. Several of the colored maps with which the book will be found liberally provided were engraved especially for my _Ancient History_ but the larger number are authorized reproductions of charts accompanying Professor Freeman s _Historical Geography of Europe_. The Roman maps were prepared for Professor William F. Allen s _History of Rome_ which is to be issued soon and it is to his courtesy that I am indebted for their use. The illustrations have been carefully selected with reference to their authenticity and historical truthfulness. Many of those in the Oriental and Greek part of the work are taken from Oscar Jager s _Weltgeschichte_ while most of those in the Roman portion are from Professor Allen
