Essentials In Early European History Classic Reprint

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 Early European History This book aims to furnish a concise and connected account of human progress during ancient, medieval, and early modern times. It should meet the requirements of those high schools and prepara tory schools where ancient history, as a separate discipline, is being supplanted by a more extended course introductory to the study of recent times and contemporary problems. Such a course was first outlined by the Regents of the University of the State of New York in their Syllabus for Secondary Schools, issued in 1910.

Excerpt from Essentials in Early European History The recommendations of the Committee of Five of the American Historical Association and the appearance of the New York State Regents Syllabus in History first encouraged the author to offer these essentials in early European history for Part I of the course in Modern History. Since the publication of the first edition, the sub-committee on social science of the Commission on the Reorganization of Secondary Education appointed by the National Educational Association, in Bulletin 41 of the United States Bureau of Education, made definite recommendations for the division of European History into two units, the first, European History to the Eighteenth Century with English Colonial History, the second, European History from the Eighteenth Century to the present day. The Department of Education in New Jersey is in full accord with this course of study. In New York State the newer courses are being widely adopted, and in New England there is a strong movement in their direction. In the selection of these essentials, many details formerly deemed vital to a knowledge of history have been purposely omitted in an attempt to mirror the customs and life of the people and to explain the meaning of the great economic, social, and political movements of ancient, medieval, and early modern times, always having in mind their influence on present civilization.
