Excerpt from Beacon Lights of History, Vol. 1: Part I. The Old Pagan Civilizations; Part II. Jewish Heroes and ProphetsQuite what I always wanted, the busy man tells him self, as he takes a volume into his hands beside the evening the. For the self-taught it is a key-book; it plans and correlates, it expounds the principal references and allusions which other books have mentioned tantalisingly and not explained. It is as the lmp illuminating general reading; it turns vagueness into something like precision, and gradually it leads into the path of regular study; many an American is learned to day only because he began with this book. The method Of the work is a lesson to teachers, and the style an example for us all.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Beacon Lights of History, Vol. 1: Part I. The Old Pagan Civilizations; Part II. Jewish Heroes and Prophets Though it is history, biography, philosophy, and science in pemmican, it is literature also; it is anything but tasteless and dry. It can be read in sections and at intervals, or it can form the basis of systematic studious ness. As a book for the fireside shelf, taken down for a chapter at a time, it a little resembles that once-famous book Half-hours with the Best Authors, but it shows a wider essor and scope; another name for 'it might be Half-hours with the Best that has been Known, Thought, and Done. It is no scrappy half-hour compilation, how ever, fugitive in interest, unsustained in conception or execution; the author's eye saw deep as well as far. Dr. Lord was scholar and teacher as well as writer, and he made this book a treasury of philosophic wisdom. Yet its popular title is no misnomer; the village library, the school book-shelf, and the boy's bookcase may house it as fitly as the student's desk.
