Early European History Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Early European History This book aims to furnish a concise and connected account of human progress during ancient, medieval, and early modern times.

Excerpt from Essentials in Early European History There is much dispute concerning the origin of the different races of mankind. People formerly thought that all the races which speak one of the so-called Aryan or Indo - Euro pean group of languages had a common origin. To this group belong Greek, Latin, German, and even the ancient language of India. The most recent conclusion is that neither similarity of language nor even marked physical features, such as color, enable us to classify the races of man.

Excerpt from European History: Chiefly Ancient in Its Processes It is also to be noted that an American or an Oriental will each vlew Europe in his own way, and both ways will be different from that of the native European. Each must interpreta for eign institutional world through his own. The same outline of facts will not only have different meanings, but also be organized differently by each. It needs but little intercourse with the Oriental mind to come upon its basic belief that the rest of the world Springing from Asia is an emanation from the central sun of the East, and really a falling-off, a lapse from the original creative source. That indeed has been the main tenet of the religions of the East amid all their diversities. On the other hand it requires not much acquaintance with the American mind to discover that its conviction is the opposite: it believes in evolution rather than emanation, in the rise of man more than the fall. Now peo ple of these diverse mental attitudes will cer tainly look at the History of Europe, the inter mediate and indeed mediating continent, each after his own character and limitations.
