No one man could hope, on such a variety of subjects, to present exhaustive treatises. It would be impossible, to the satisfaction of critics, to com press in six hundred pages the ancient history of the world. But I have done the best I could to seize on the important and salient points in the religion, the philosophy, the laws, the arts, the science, the litera ture, and the social life of the cultivated nations of antiquity.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Beacon Lights of History, Vol. 1: The Old Pagan Civilizations T has been my Object in these Lectures to give the substance of accepted knowledge pertaining to the leading events and characters of history; and in treating such a variety of subjects, extending over a period of more than six thousand years, each of which might fill a volume, I have sought to present what is true rather than what is new. Although most of these Lectures have been delivered, in some form, during the last forty years, in most of the cities and in many of the literary institutions of this country, I have carefully revised them within the last few years, in order to avail myself of the latest light shed on the topics and times of which they treat.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is my object in this book on the old Pagan civilizations to present the salient points only, since an exhaustive work is impossible within the limits of these volumes. The practical end which I have in view is to collate a sufficient number of acknowledged facts from which to draw sound inferences in reference to the progress of the human race, and the comparative welfare of nations in ancient and modern times. The first inquiry we naturally make is in regard to the various religious systems which were accepted by the ancient nations, since religion, in some form or other, is the most universal of institutions, and has had the earliest and the greatest influence on the condition and life of peoples--that is to say, on their civilizations--in every period of the world. And, necessarily, considering what is the object in religion, when we undertake to examine any particular form of it which has obtained among any people or at any period of time, we must ask, How far did its priests and sages teach exalted ideas of Deity, of the soul, and of immortality? How far did they arrive at lofty and immutable principles of morality? How far did religion, such as was taught, practically affect the lives of those who professed it, and lead them to just and reasonable treatment of one another, or to holy contemplation, or noble deeds, or sublime repose in anticipation of a higher and endless life? And how did the various religions compare with what we believe to be the true religion--Christianity--in its pure and ennobling truths, its inspiring promises, and its quiet influence in changing and developing character? I assume that there is no such thing as a progressive Christianity, except in so far as mankind grow in the realization of its lofty principles; that there has not been and will not be any improvement on the ethics and spiritual truths revealed by Jesus the Christ, but that they will remain forever the standard of faith and practice. I assume also that Christianity has elements which are not to be found in any other religion, --such as original teachings, divine revelations, and sublime truths. I know it is the fashion with many thinkers to maintain that improvements on the Christian system are both possible and probable, and that there is scarcely a truth which Christ and his apostles declared which cannot be found in some other ancient religion, when divested of the errors there incorporated with it. This notion I repudiate. I believe that systems of religion are perfect or imperfect, true or false, just so far as they agree or disagree with Christianity; and that to the end of time all systems are to be measured by the Christian standard, and not Christianity by any other system

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Beacon Lights of History, Vol. 1: Part I. The Old Pagan Civilizations; Part II. Jewish Heroes and Prophets Though it is history, biography, philosophy, and science in pemmican, it is literature also; it is anything but tasteless and dry. It can be read in sections and at intervals, or it can form the basis of systematic studious ness. As a book for the fireside shelf, taken down for a chapter at a time, it a little resembles that once-famous book Half-hours with the Best Authors, but it shows a wider essor and scope; another name for 'it might be Half-hours with the Best that has been Known, Thought, and Done. It is no scrappy half-hour compilation, how ever, fugitive in interest, unsustained in conception or execution; the author's eye saw deep as well as far. Dr. Lord was scholar and teacher as well as writer, and he made this book a treasury of philosophic wisdom. Yet its popular title is no misnomer; the village library, the school book-shelf, and the boy's bookcase may house it as fitly as the student's desk.
