The History of Ancient Civilization - A Hand-Book Based Upon M. Gustave Ducoudray's Histoire Sommaire De La Civilisation #251826

The civilization of Greece, which was the outcome of indi vidual thought, whether embodied in literature, art, or life, the civilization of Rome, which was the outcome of corporate action, whether embodied in conquest, organization, or ad ministration, are most fully understood in their influence on the development of mankind when viewed side by side with the earlier civilizations of the East. Such a comprehensive view of ancient civilization this handbook is intended to facilitate, especially for students in the more advanced classes of schools. It may, perhaps, be useful to older students also, as a grouping together of knowledge already acquired.
