(This book was originally published prior to 1923, and rep...)
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

(Excerpt from Outlines of Universal History, Vol. 1: Desig...)
Excerpt from Outlines of Universal History, Vol. 1: Designed as a Text-Book and for Private Reading Definition of History. The subject of history is man. His tory has for its Object to record his doings and experiences. It may then be concisely defined as a narrative of past events in which men have been concerned. TO describe the earth, the abode of man, to delineate the different kingdoms Of nature, and to inquire into the origin Of them, or to explain the physical or mental Constitution Of human beings, is no part Of the Office Of history. All this belongs to the departments of natural and intel lectual science. But history, as we now understand the term, is more than a bare record Of what men have done and suffered. It aims to point out the connection Of events with one another. It seeks to ex plain the causes and the consequences Of things that Occur. It would trace the steps that mark the progress of the race, and of the different portions Of it, through extended periods. It brings to light the thread which unites each particular stage in the career Of a people, or Of mankind as a whole, with what went before, and with what came after.

(Excerpt from Outlines of Universal History, Vol. 2 of 2 ...)
Excerpt from Outlines of Universal History, Vol. 2 of 2 Modern history as a whole, in contrast with mediæval, is marked by several plainly defined characteristics. They are such as appear, however, in a less developed form, in the latter part of the Middle Ages. 1. In the recent centuries, there has been an increased tendency to consolidate smaller states into larger kingdoms. 2. There has been a gradual secularizing of politics. Governments have more and more cast off ecclesiastical control. 3. As another side of this last movement, political unity in Europe has superseded ecclesiastical unity. The bond of union among nations, in the room of being membership in one great ecclesiastical commonwealth, became political: it came to be membership in a loosely defined confederacy of nations, held together by treaties or by a tacit agreement in certain accepted rules of public law and outlines of policy. 4. In this system, one main principle is the balance of power. This means that any one state may be prevented from enlarging its bounds to such an extent as to endanger its neighbors. We have seen the action of such a principle among the ancient states of Greece. Even in the Middle Ages, as regards Italy, the popes endeavored to keep up an equilibrium. They supported the Norman kingdom in Southern Italy, or the Lombard leagues in the North, as a counterpoise to the German emperors. In the sixteenth century, there were formed combinations to check the power of Charles V., king of Spain and emperor of Germany, and afterwards to restrain his successor on the Spanish throne, Philip II. In the seventeenth century, there were like combinations against Louis XIV. of France, and, in the present century, against the first Napoleon.

Several years have elapsed since I engaged to prepare this work. The unexpected delay in its publication is owing chiefly to the pressure of other and more imperative engagements. One reason for it, however, is the fact that, although the subject is one which I had long studied and on which I had given instruction to many successive classes, more time was required for the composition of the book than I had anticipated. This is partly for the reason that it appeared to me, for the present purpose, expedient to abandon for the most part the method which I had always followed in my Lectures of arranging the matter under the heads of General and Special Doctrinal History. On this topic something more is said in the introductory chapter. This change of plan has involved an entire recasting of the materials to be incorporated into this volume. A number of the ablest of the recent German writers on Dogtnengeschichte confine themselves to a description of the rise and establishment of dogmas in the official significance of the term, according to which it denotes simply the accredited tenets of the principal divisions of the Church. The terminus of this branch of study is, therefore, set not later than about the opening of the seventeenth century. In the present work, the history of theological thought is carried forward through the subsequent essays at doctrinal construction down to the present time. In other words, the present work is a history of Doctrine as well as of Dogmas. (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)
