Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A System of Universal History, in Perspective: Accompanied by an Atlas, Exhibiting Chronology in a Picture of Nations, and Progressive Geography in a Series of Maps
The object of this work is to furnish the reader not only with the main facts of history, but also with a plan of classification which will enable him to arrange whatever historical knowledge he may afterwards acquire. Simplicity and clearness have been studied. The little tree which bears its fruit so low that who ever wishes, may easily fill his basket, is often preferred to the large and lofty, whose abundant stores are above a convenient reach.
