Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lights and Shadows of European History The following pages will be found to contain, in the first place, a rapid outline of the History of Europe, from its beginning to the present time; and then a series of sketches or pictures of important and interesting events, belonging to the history, and drawn out with some detail. It is supposed that even the youthful reader may be able to assign these sketches to their proper chronological places, and that they may, therefore, form a succession of prominent points, from which he may be able to mark the outlines or boundaries of the entire field of European history. It is believed that there are difficulties in the study of history, which are somewhat formidable to the youthful mind. If the beginner takes an abridgement, which presents the topics in distinct chronological succession, the book is dry, conveys few ideas, and makes a feeble impression on the understanding and memory. If, on the contrary, he enters upon voluminous details, the mind is apt to become confounded in a wilderness of events, and therefore to obtain no clear comprehension of the whole subject.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lights and Shadows of Asiatic History The physical features of Asia are very striking. It presents every variety of climate, from the dreary confines of the polar world to the heart of the tropical regions. Its rivers yield in magnitude only to those Of the Western Continent; its towering mountains sur pass all others in elevation; its immense salt lakes, or inland seas, its wide deserts, its extensive plains, are among its distinguishing features. The natural productions of Asia are not less striking than its geographical features. It abounds in the rich est minerals, and yields every variety Of precious gem. The vegetable kingdom presents us with the choicest fruits and flowers, with costly gums and fragrant spices. Nor is the animal kingdom less remarkable and diversified. From this region we have derived the horse, the peacock, the pheasant, and our ham-door fowls. Every thing in Asia seems to have been formed on a scale of magnificence and profusion, in which all that is grand is blended with all that is beautiful.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lights and Shadows of American History The continent of America stretches from the polar regions of the north, almost to the frozen zone of the southern hemisphere. Its whole length is nearly nine thousand miles, and, bent upon the surface of the globe, embraces more than one third of its entire circumference. It occupies about one third of the land upon the earth. Its inhabitants may be estimated at forty-five millions, or one twentieth part of the entire population of the globe. In comparison with the eastern continent, America is marked with a scale of grandeur in several of its physical features. The great chain of mountains which extends through both portions of the continent, from Cape Horn to the borders of the Arctic ocean, is the longest in the world. Lake Superior has a surface exceeding that of all the fresh water lakes of Europe, Asia, and Africa. The river Amazon bears to the ocean as great a volume of water as the united streams of Europe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern European History America 'has come to realize how ignorant she has been of Euro pean history and of European conditions and how heavily that ignorance has cost her. Not only her citizens but also her official leaders, high and low, have frequently revealed, during the appalling crises of the last five years, a lamentable and dangerous lack of comprehension of things vital to their own welfare and to the welfare of the world. As a nation we have successfully muddled through the great entanglement of our times, but it is not safe for nations, any more than for individuals, to muddle, since the issue may not always be happy, and is at any rate always purchased at too high a price. It ought to be clear even to the blind, after the events of the past five years, that the destinies of America and Europe are not dis connected but are inextricably intertwined and will remain so. Whether we like it or not makes no difference with the situation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, the Reformation, and the Renaissance popes conjure in the imagination a corrupt Roman Catholic clergy hungry for wealth and power. In this insightful, well researched work, the Vatican's chief historian, Fr. Walter Brandmuller, takes a thoughtful and understanding look at these and other important chapters in Church history. Without denying, or flinching at, the human capacity for folly, failure, and evil, Brandmuller moves beyond the caricatures and legends that often substitute for real history to reveal a Church, both human and divine, fulfilling its mission in every time and place. His goal is not to whitewash any of these past events or issues, but rather to illuminate them, and bring to them a more in-depth, comprehensive historical understanding on the basis of their causes, circumstances and effects. "Now let us take into consideration Church history from the theological viewpoint, highlighting another important aspect. Its essential duty, in fact, turns out to be the complex mission to investigate and clarify that process of reception and transmission, of paraleacute;psis and of paragrave;dosis, through which was substantiated, in the course of the ages, the Church's raison d'ecirc;tre. Indeed, it is beyond a doubt that the Church can draw inspiration for her choices by drawing on her centuries-old treasury of experience and memory." -Pope Benedict VXI, Address to the members of the Pontifical Committee for Historical Sciences, March 7, 2008
