THE WORLD'S 

 EPOCH-MAKERS 



EDITED BY 



OLIPHANT SMEATON. 



MESSRS. CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS 

 have much pleasure in announcing an 

 important new Series, under the title of 



" THE WORLD'S EPOCH-MAKERS." 



The Volumes composing- it will constitute, when their 

 issue is complete, a valuable conspectus of the origin 

 and progress of the most prominent movements that 

 have taken place in theology, philosophy, and the history 

 of intellectual development from Buddha to the present 

 day. 



Each Volume will record the initiation and trace the 

 Evolution of some particular phase of human thought 

 and culture. The various subjects have in every case 

 been assigned to writers who have made a special study 

 of them. The Publishers, therefore, confidently expect 

 that the successive Volumes will present the latest and 

 most reliable information on the topics whereon they 

 treat, and that the Series as a whole will be found to 

 afford a valuable guide to the consecutive study of the 

 leading Epochs in the moral, intellectual, and spiritual 

 development of humanity.
