COLBY'S OUTLINES OF GENERAL HISTORY 



By FRANK MOORE COLBY, M. A $1.50 



This General History possesses certain features and advantages 

 which distinguish it from all other text-books of its class. It gives in 

 brief compass a comprehensive outline of the history of the whole world, 

 but a larger proportional space is given to mediaeval and modern history 

 than in most other text-books, in recognition of the relation of these 

 later periods to the present status of the world's history. Written in a 

 fascinating style it is not a mere collection of dates and names, but a 

 vivid picture of the progress of civilization.

 civilization from the earliest historical period down to the present time.

 the subject ever written.
