This book was originally printed in 1858, with an update in 1881. The value of this book is that it predates the revisionists who change history to accommodate current social and world political goals. Another worthy factor is that world history begins with the first man, Adam. Each generation bases its future or fall upon the previous generation. This book affords us an understanding of the Christian principles and the lessons of history in Civil War days that were the basis of education. Whether the American republic rises to the next generation or falls upon the present one depends upon traditional education, not political indoctrination. The publisher recommends this book to the comprehensive school system -- public, Christian, private, or home. The description below is taken from the original text. Notice the expectations that are placed upon the student. This denotes the major flaw that occurs in our current education system.
