Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the World, on a New and Systematic Plan: From the Earliest Times to the Treaty; To Which Is Added a Summary of Leading Events From That Period to the Year 1821 This Volume contains a brief narrative of the principal events m the History of the World, from the earliest ages to the present time. With the view of facilitating the researches of the student, as well as of rendering the work more available for the purposes of tuition, the compiler has adopted the novel arrangement of a division into periods of centuries. This plan appeared to him likely to simplify the study of history, by its enabling the unprac tised reader to synchronize facts, to group round one common centre the events occurring at the same time in various and some times widely distant countries, and to prevent that confusion of dates and occurrences so common with those who have read his tory in detached portions. As an initiatory work, he trusts that it will be found valuable in promoting a knowledge of one of the most useful branches of learning; and it is accordingly presented to the Public, not without hope of indulgence and approbation.
