“It is easy to see why this volume is so highly esteemed. It is
systematic, thorough, and concise. But its power is in the wide mental
vision and well-balanced imagination of the author, which enable him to
reconstruct the scenes of ancient history. An exceptional clearness and
force mark his style.”—_Boston Advertiser._
“One might read many books without obtaining more than a fraction of
the profitable information here conveyed; and he might search a long
time before finding one which would so thoroughly fix his attention and
command his interest.”—_Phil. S. S. Times._
“Dr. Uhlhorn has described the great conflict with the power of a
master. His style is strong and attractive, his descriptions vivid and
graphic, his illustrations highly colored, and his presentation of the
subject earnest and effective.”—_Providence Journal._
“The work is marked for its broad humanitarian views, its learning, and
the wide discretion in selecting from the great field the points of
deepest interest.”—_Chicago Inter-Ocean._
“This is one of those clear, strong, thorough-going books which are a
scholar’s delight.”—_Hartford Religious Herald._
