Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Beacon Lights of History: The Old Pagan Civilizations IN this volume I have not aimed at original investi gation. 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.

It took seventy years for the Saxons to become masters of Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, Essex, and Wessex. A stout resistance to the invading Saxons had been made by the native Britons, headed by Arthur, a legendary hero, who is thought to have lived near the close of the fifth century. His deeds and those of the knights of the Round Table form the subject of one of the most interesting romances of the Middle Ages, probably written in the brightest age of chivalry, and by a monk very ignorant of history, since he gives many Norman names to his characters. But all the valor of the Celtic hero and his chivalrous followers was of no avail before the fierce and persistent attacks of a hardier race, bent on the possession of a fairer land than their own.

Alfred is one of the most interesting characters in all history for those blended virtues and talents which remind us of a David, a Marcus Aurelius, or a Saint Louis,--a man whom everybody loved, whose deeds were a boon, whose graces were a radiance, and whose words were a benediction; alike a saint, a poet, a warrior, and a statesman. He ruled a little kingdom, but left a great name, second only to Charlemagne, among the civilizers of his people and nation in the Middle Ages. As a man of military genius he yields to many of the kings of England, to say nothing of the heroes of ancient and modern times.
