Book excerpt: Excerpt from High School Ancient History The usual division of ancient history into Oriental, Greek, and Roman, has been followed not only as the most con venient arrangement, but as afiording the means to illustrate in a satisfactory way the progressive stages in the growth of ancient civilization. A brief sketch of the Oriental countries is given to show the beginnings of man's industrial fife and the initial stages in the development of government, 'art, science, and religion. -the Greek world is viewed as the historical field especially distinguished for the growth of political liberty and the development of a high intellec tual and mathetic culture; In dacribing the Roman world, the attempt has been made to keep clearly in view that which has given to Rome its distinctive place m the world's history - the genius for organisation, the growth of an imperial dominion, and the development of a universal system of government and law.
