Author Description

Excerpt from Atlas Antiquus: In Forty-Eight Original, Graphic Maps, With Elaborate d104 to Each Map, and Full Index The present Atlas is done on the same lines as my New Atlas of English History (1903, Macmillan Co., Its chief purpose is to project historical events graphically upon the territory in which they happened, and by the configuration of which they were largely inuenced. Many of the military movements indicated in the maps of this Atlas Antiquus are not in full accordance with all the sources. Given the contradictory or incomplete state of the sources, nothing remained but to take, in many a case, the probable line of action. Yet even in dubious cases, a graphic representa tion will prove, it is confidently hoped, of great utility to the student. At any rate, this is the first attempt to give, by graphic methods, a full and clear statement of all the great military events.
