Geography, Ancient; History, Ancient
[The following is added, as well deserving the attention of the
English student: RALEGH (Sir WALTER) _History of the World, Part I.
extending to the end of the Macedonian Empire; with his Life and
Trial, by Mr. Oldys_. Lond. 1736, 2 vols. folio. Formerly the best
edition; but a new and improved one has been printed at the
Clarendon press. Oxford, 1829, 8 vols. 8vo.]
# F. VON RAUMER, _Lectures on Ancient History_, parts 1, 2. Berlin,
1821.
Works furnishing illustrations of the progressive civilization,
government, and commerce of early nations, although, strictly
speaking, not treatises on ancient history, are nevertheless very
closely connected with the subject. Among these may be mentioned:
GOGUET, _De l'Origine des Lois, des Arts, et des Sciences, et de
leurs progres chez les anciens peuples; nouv. edit_. Paris, 1778.
[Translated by Dr. DUNN and Mr. SPEERMAN. Edinb. 1761-1775, 3 vols.
8vo.]
# A. H. L. HEEREN, _Reflections on the Politics, Intercourse, and
Trade of the most eminent Nations in the Ancient World_. Third
edition, with many additions. Gottingen, 1815, 8vo.; the third
part, 1821. Fourth edition. Gottingen, 1824. [This edition, the
last, contains many improvements and additions, suggested by the
great discoveries of modern travellers. Part I, Asiatic Nations, in
3 vols. Persians, Phoenicians, Babylonians, Scythians, Indians. An
English translation of which is at this moment in the press. Part
II, African Nations, 2 vols. Carthaginians, Ethiopians, Egyptians.
Part III, European Nations; of which only 1 volume, Greeks, has
been published.]
2. _Manuals_, or epitomes.
The Germans are entitled to the merit of having first produced
manuals of ancient history, all of them useful, some excellent, in
their kind: they are a result of the progress made in this science
at the universities.
# J. CHR. GATTERER, _Attempt at an Universal History of the World
to the discovery of America_. Gottingen, 1792. He who possesses
this, the last and ripest fruit of Gatterer's studies, may dispense
with the earlier manuals published by that author.
# CHR. DAN. BECK, _A Short Introduction to the Knowledge of the
Universal History of the World and of Nature_. Leipzic, 1798. The
first part connected with our subject extends to A. D. 843. This
volume is enriched with such a copious and critical account of
books relating to ancient history, that it may supply the place of
a particular work on the subject.
# J. A. REMER, _Manual of the more Ancient History, from the
creation of the world to the great migration_. Fourth edition.
Brunswick, 1832.
# J. M. SCHROECKH, _Manual of Universal History_. 1774: latest
edition, 1795.
# G. S. BREDOW, _Manual of Ancient History, with a sketch of the
chronology of the ancients_. Altona, 1799, 8vo. [Translated into
