Excerpt from Cyclopedia of Universal History, Vol. 2 of 3: Being an Account of the Principal Events in the Career of the Human Race From the Beginnings of Civilization to the Present Time, From Recent and Authentic Sources; Part I. The Modern World In following out this plan, it shall be my aim not only to produce a succinct narrative of the leading events which may claim our atten tion, but also to consider, from time to time, the causes which have determined them and the relations by which they are bound together.
