Author Description

Excerpt from Ancient History Prepared Especially for the Instruction, and Training of Students of the American School This outline is designed to cover the regular Ancient History unit required for entrance to colleges and universities and is based on the two texts accompanying this instruction book, viz, Morey's Outlines of Greek History, and Morey's Outlines of Roman History. In order to make the references perfectly clear to the student, the chapter divisions of the instruction paper follow exactly those of the texts. The questions under each heading are intended to suggest the important topics for special study and to guide the student into useful lines of thought outside of the text so as to broaden his view of the historical incidents of the period under discussion. The answers to these questions are not necessarily to be put in writing although the greatest value will be derived from working by this method; in any event they are not to be sent to the school for correction. Morey's Outlines are sufficient to prepare the student for the examinations in this book, and for any entrance examination on the subject. However, for those who feel the need or the desire for a broader study, Botsford's "History of the Ancient World," published by MacMillan, is strongly recommended for collateral reading. Examinations Send to the School for correction only the examinations on Greek and Roman History pages 32 to 33, and 62 to 64. Send first the one on Greek History. All other questions in this instruction book are for home study. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
