Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A Manual of Ancient and Modern History, written by William Cooke Taylor and published in 1845, is a comprehensive guide to the history of the world from ancient times to the mid-19th century. The book is divided into two parts, with the first covering ancient history and the second covering modern history. The ancient history section covers the civilizations of Egypt, Greece, Rome, and other ancient cultures, with a focus on their political, social, and cultural developments. It also includes discussions of important historical events such as the Persian Wars, the Peloponnesian War, and the rise and fall of the Roman Empire. The modern history section begins with the Renaissance and covers the major events and movements of European history up to the mid-19th century, including the Reformation, the Enlightenment, the French Revolution, and the Industrial Revolution. It also includes discussions of the colonization of the Americas, the rise of the British Empire, and the Napoleonic Wars. Throughout the book, Taylor provides detailed accounts of important historical figures and events, as well as analysis of the broader social, economic, and political trends that shaped the course of history. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it an ideal resource for students, scholars, and anyone interested in the history of the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
