[EAN: 9781333804206], New book, [PU: Forgotten Books, United States], Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****.Excerpt from The Ideas That Have Influenced Civilization in the Original Documents, Vol. 1 of 10: The Ancient World With this principle in view, starting from the earliest historic time, we have collected those documents in Which the world s thinkers have embodied the ideas and discoveries which have given man control over: nature and himself, and by linking them together in practically chron ological order with introductions and biographies, we have made a history, the student Of which, may, so to speak, begin to live five thousand years ago and think and feel what man has thought and felt down the ages. The character Of the work fits it to be what few sets Of books are, a reading library that is valuable for reference, and a reference work which it is interesting to read. It need not be argued that containing, as it does, the most important Of the world s ideas, it is nothing less than an encyclopedia Of man s greatest thought, and it is also self evident than any work Of this nature, every page Of which is fraught with suggestion, must be of fascinating interest to any one who is at all concerned with the march of human progress. The work is especially important from an historical, and from an educational point of view. In dealing with the work from an historical standpoint we have attempted to include all of the best sources Of our knowledge bearing upon the growth Of civilization which are at once historically im portant and preserved in such shape as to throw vivid light upon the life, customs and ideas of the time. We have already mentioned that in our conception the best history Of all, would be one made up Of original documents linked together and helped out with additional notes and facts. We have given, so far as we know, the only general collection Of such historical sources extant, but the work is more than simply a collection Of sources. We have introduced each important subject with a brief sketch, which gives a setting to the documents which illustrate it. We have given a short introductory biography Of every great thinker. Taken all in all we have tried to make a history Of civilization which will illustrate itself. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
