DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from The Advance-Guard of Western Civilization The substance of the present volume was given to the public in a course of lectures which the writer delivered before the Lowell Institute, of Boston, in the winter of 1887-88. Those lectures are here amplified and enlarged into what is intended to be a full narrative of an episode which is, perhaps, the most unique and remarkable in American history. The narrative is the result of eight years' careful study of early events in the Southwest, nearly four of which years were passed upon the ground where the events occurred, and it is the writer's sincere conviction that it may be accepted as authentic history. To make sure that it should be authentic, the proof-sheets of the volume have been submitted for revision and correction to the Hon. John M. Lea, President of the Tennessee Historical Society, the Rev. Dr. John Berrien Lindsley, late Chancellor of the University of Nashville, and the Hon. Randall M. Ewing - three gentlemen who are undoubtedly better acquainted with the early history of the Southwest than any others now living.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from An Introduction to Western Civilization: Revised The classroom is the real testing ground of a textbook. Six years of educational experience with An Introduction to Western Civilization has brought to its authors the usual cargo of approval, suggestion, and criticism. The present revision Of the work has been responsive in large measure to the judg ments Of those using the book both here at Cincinnati and else where. The march of events has been even more pressing in its demands. Much water has run under the mill since 1933, when the Introduction was first published. Events whose significance could be seen but dimly six years ago now appear momentous in their portent for the present and the future. They have made necessary radical changes in those chapters dealing with contemporary events and problems in the fields Of economics, politics, and international relations. The revision has been thoroughgoing throughout the volume. The omission of considerable matter found in the first edition has opened the way for additions Of new material designed to emch the content of the book and enhance its value for both teacher and student. But with all the omissions and additions the original plan and organization remain unchanged. It is the conviction Of the authors that the arrangement of materials, tested by results measured in terms of the educational aims originally set up, has proved its value.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from The Unity of Western Civilization Essays Arranged and Edited The following essays are the substance of a course of lectures delivered at a Summer School at the Woodbrooke Settlement, near Birmingham, in August 1915. The general purpose of the course will be apparent from the essays them selves. No forced or mechanical uniformity of view was aimed at. The writers will be found, very naturally and properly, to differ in detail and in the stress they lay on different aspects of the case. But they agree in thinking that while our country's cause and the cause of our Allies is just and necessary and must be prosecuted with the utmost vigour, it is not inopportune to reflect on those common and ineradicable elements in the civilization of the West which tend to form a real commonwealth of nations and will survive even the most shattering of conflicts. That we on the Allied side stand fundamentally for this ideal is one of our most valuable assets. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
