The immense populations of bar barism, long heaped up on the further banks of the Rhine and the Danube, suddenly dif fused themselves as a spreading flood over all the better parts of the vest. It may prove of interest to take at least a cursory survey of the barbarians, as it respects their ethnology, institutions, and general history.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ridpath's History of the World, Vol. 5 of 9 It is at this point of view that We now take our stand. I shall hope to continue the narrative in the same manner as that already' employed in the two preceding volumes. Albeit, the matter is now much changed from the character which it bore in the Classical Ages, and even more changed from the char acter which it bore in the Epochs of Darkness. In historical narrative every such change in subject-matter must needs be reflected to a cer tain extent in the style and treatment. The thought, when fixed intently on any event takes by sympathy much of the form, and some thing of the substance, of the thing considered.

This book was released on 2018-01-13 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ridpath's History of the World, Vol. 7 of 9 At first view it will appear to the student of history that the Ancient and the Modern World are, in their historical records, of about equal duration and importance. The begin nings of Ancient History are set, in a general way, about as far beyond the Christian Era as our own times are placed thereafter. To Ancient History belong the Classical Ages an epoch of achievement and glory which may well challenge the most brilliant periods of the recent era. But a closer judgment of the rel ative importance of Ancient and Modern His 'tory will show the great preponderance of the latter. This is one of the more important facts which have impressed themselves upon the writer's mind in the preparation of these Volumes. He has come to believe in the great preeminence of the Modern Era over the most brilliant epochs of Antiquity. This is said of the aggregate and total achievements of mod ern times as compared with the aggregate and total achievements of any given period in the history of the Ancient World.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ridpath's History of the World, Vol. 4 of 4: Being an Account of the Ethnic Origin, Primitive Estate, Early Migrations, Social Conditions and Present Promise of the Principal Families of Men After the Africans proper, we pass to the second, or eastern, division of the Blacks. On this line we find first of all the native races of Australia. Closely connected with these by ethnic descent are the Papuans of New Guinea and the remoter islands. The race is dis tributed in this direction as far as the Fijis; while on the north it spreads out, beginning from Borneo, through the Celebes and Philippine islands, as far as Formosa, and probably to Japan. \vith this excursion into the remote seas we conclude our inquiry into the character of the Black races and, in general, our study of the ethnic history of mankind. In taking leave of the theme which has so long Occupied my attention, I am tempted to add some personal reflections in addition to what has been already suggested in the prefaces to the preced ing volumes. There is no kind of task with which the mind becomes so deeply involved as with the literary task. The work in this case seems to spring, not from the collocation of visible materials put into form and fashion by the hand.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ridpath's History of the World, Vol. 3: Being an Account of the Principal Events in the Career of the Human Race From the Beginnings of Civilization to the Present Time It were long to say what limits of time and application are requisite for the completion of a task in History. In the preliminary study it is as though a traveler should ascend a mound to gain a clearer view of the horizon. Lo! The horizon recedes and widens as he climbs, and he at length perceives that there is no line at all! After this experience, so uncertain and so little satisfying, comes the actual work of construction, the painting of historical landscapes and their arrangement in the gallery so that the aggregate effect may be that of unity. Finally, perhaps, a period is reached, and the writer is able to survey his work. But how imperfect the whole ap pears! How feebly does it answer his hopesl How, to his eye at least, does the discrepancy seem emphasized between the glorious work that might have been and the paltry work that is.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ridpath's History of the World, Vol. 4 of 5: Being an Account of the Principal Events in the Career of the Human Race From the Beginnings of Civilization to the Present Time; Comprising the Development of Social Institutions and the Story of All Nations, From Recent and Authentic Sources In still another particular the production of current history is greatly embarrassed and distracted. This is the necessity of the writer to constitute a part of that vast society, the movement of which he is expected to describe. He is himself borne along with the current. He must needs feel its fluctuations. Anon he finds himself in the middle of the stream, or borne at intervals into the whirling eddy near the shore, from which point of View universal nature seems to revolve around him. He is expected to share the Sympathies, the beliefs, the passions of the current age. He is ex pected to be swayed by the dominant preja dice, to think as his party thinks, to do as the majority do, to dream the prevailing dreams, to see the anticipated vision. He is expected to wear the form and fashion of the times; to be pleased with the current pleasure; to smile, to sigh, to weep, to sleep and wake, to go and come, to live and to die, even as do those with whom he is associated in the desti nies of life. This setting of the writer among the very facts, the tendency of which he is expected to discover and describe, is the most serious of all drawbacks to the accuracy and fidelity of his work. I can not hope that what I have written in this Fourth Volume, closely involved as it is with the movements of the current age, shall be wholly free from the coloring of prejudice and the mistakes arising from the personal equation. Doubt less there is in the following pages much obro matic and spherical aberration; but I cherish the hope that the reader will find much to have been faithfully delineated and lifted somewhat above the level of the political and partisan distortion which is unfortunately the prevail Ing v1ce of our times.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ridpath's History of the World, Vol. 9 of 9: Being an Account of the Principal Events in the Career of the Human Race From the Beginnings of Civilization to the Present Time; Comprising the Development of Social Institutions and the Story of All Nations, From Recent and Authentic Sources The period under consideration in this part of the narrative is, without exaggeration, one of the most important in human history. Whatever may be the result of the present crush and con ict of the forces of civilization, there can be no doubt of the critical character of this age. Without entering into a discus sion of the principles involved, every thought ful student of historical movements can dis cern in the current aspect of the world the unmistakable beginnings of a great transforma tion. Human society is in the alembic; the civilized life of man is on trial. Every civil and political institution of the world is passing through an ordeal in which it is tested as if in furnace fires. That a new order will arise out of the cinders of the present order is as certain as the progress of the seasons, as inevitable as the astronomical changes in the skies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ridpath's History of the World, Vol. 5 of 9 In pursuance of the general plan of the present work, I have now arrived at a break in the narrative which may well suggest the beginning of a new Volume. We here find ourselves in the dawu of the History of Modern Kunipe. (niizot has with great propriety designated the Crusades as the first European event. By this is meant that the Holy Wars were the first event subsequent to the Dark Ages, in which the several countries of Europe, considered as a whole, joined their forces in a common cause under the inifluence of common sentiments and passions. When the crusading fever first appeared, Europe was, as we have seen, thoroughly broken up. The various States were segregated an lhostile. There was uo common opinion, no fact which might properly be called European. But at the close of the epoch, Modern Europe had been born. Chaos had brought -forth. The political results of the tremendous agitation were the germs of iustitutions destined under the law of evolution and historical growth to expand and become permanent in the States and kingdoms of the present day. It is at this point of view that we now take our stand. I shall hope to continue the narrative in the same manner as that already employed in the two preceding volumes. Albeit, the matter is now much changed from the character which it bore in the Classical Ages, and even more changed from the character which it bore in the Epochs of Darkness. In historical narrative every such change in subject-matter must needs be reflected to a certain extent in the style and treatment. The thought, when fixed intently on any event, takes by sympathy much of the form, and someithi Tgof the substance, of the thing considered. -Since a Preface is largely personal, it may lie appropriate tlmt I should re(T iif;aMi Uthe part which historical writings are perlormin); in the literature of our age, and parlicniarly in the literature of our own country. The people of the United States hold a relation to the general history of mankind entirely singular and unique. No other people in ancient or in modern times have stool in so important an attitude with respect to civilization and the course of events. We have here in our American arena a larger and freer field of political and civil action than has ever been known hitherto among the nations. The civil and social life of the American people is set forth on a grander scale and with more striking phenomena than have ever been witnessed in other countries. The life of mankind associated, as distinguished from the life of man individual, is a larger fact in the United States than among any other people who have flourished since the times of the Grecian Democracies. All of these circumstances and conditions have conspired to produce in the American mind and in American life a better ground for historical study for the knowledge of the past and its application to the present than could be discovered in the situation and attainment of any other nation. Among many peoples, viewed with respect to their social and political condition, it might well be said that history, as a branch of learning, should be remanded to a subordinate and unimportant place, or altogether omitted from the subjects of common inquiry. The lessons which the historians have with so much pains and labor deduced from the affairs of men in one age, and set forth for the instruction of men in another age, must needs be wasted on those nations that have not yet emerged from the Medivæl condition and reached political autonomy. Doubtless among peoples of this kind a few minds of superior force and more favorably developed may find profit from the pursuit and application of historical teacher.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the World, Vol. 4 of 4: From the Earliest Period to the Year of Our Lord 1783, With Particular Reference to the Affairs of Europe and Her Colonies At the period when the peace of the Pyrenees put an end to the contest between France and Spain, [A. D. 1659, ] which was a kind of appendage to the thirty years war, Louis the Fourteenth was in the twenty-first year of his age. Cardinal Mazarin was still at the head of the government, and now administered it in peace. The last civil war, if the commotions of the Fronde are to be called by that name, having been extinguished, he was neither employed in pursuing any immediate schemes, nor in looking forward to any farsighted plans of policy; but was performing the farce to the great tragedy which was going on in England. Louis the Fourteenth was moved by ambition to the pursuit of a particular species of greatness, which he displayed in the course of fifty-four years, [A. D. 1661 - 1715, ] the period during which he reigned without a prime minister. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
