HUTCHINSON, B.A. Vol. I--From the Beginning of History to the Dawn of the Christian Era. With Map and Illustrations. 3_s._ 6_d._ It is admittedly difficult to give to beginners just the proper modicum of knowledge of ancient history to make the later ages understandable, but such a task should not be impossible, and it is hoped that this book, which has avoided dates, names and details as far as is consistent with sensible teaching, may not fail entirely in its object. The scene is laid in that centre of all early civilization, the Mediterranean, and the fortunes of all the mighty nations that lived and fought round its shores are traced in bold outline: Egypt, Crete, Babylon--the Jews, Greeks and Romans--all contribute their chapters to this wonderful story. The author finally gathers all the threads together, and leaves the reader at Rome at the dawn of the new era of Christianity. Vol. II--The Further Story of the Old World up to the Discovery of the New. With Map and Illustrations. 3_s._ 6_d._
