Excerpt from A Brief History of Ancient Peoples: With an Account of Their Monuments, Literature, and Manners
Three Divisions - History is distinguished as Ancient, Mediaeval, and Modern. Ancient history extends from the earliest time to the-fall of the Roman Empire (476 A. Mediaeval, or the history of the Middle ages, covers about a thousand years, or to the close Of the 15th century 5 and Modern history continues to the present time.
The only Historic Race is the Caucasian, the others having done little worth recording. It is usually divided into three great branches: the Ar'yan, the Semit'ic, and the Hamit'ic. The first of these, which includes the Per sians, the Hindoos, and nearly all the eui'opean nations, is the one to which. We belong. It has always been noted for its intellectual Vigor. The second embraces the Assyrians, the Hebrews, the Phoenicians, and the Arabs. It has been marked by religious fervor, and has given to the world the three faiths - Jewish, Christian, and Mohammedan - which teach the worship of one God. The third branch2 includes the Chaldeans and the Egyptians. It has been remarkable for its massive architecture.
