SECOND EDITION. 
THE FOUNDATIONS OF HISTORY. 
A SERIES OF FIRST THINGS. 
BY SAMUEL B. SCHIEFFELIN. 
One volume crown Svo., In beautiful style, and illustrated by 
elegant engravings-illuminated and plain, $150. 
School Edition, 12 mo. $1.00. 
“ This curious and interesting book is a brief history of the 
world from the creation to the Christian era.”—Commercial 
Advertiser. 
“ It’s peculiar value is that It briefly reviews history from 
a Christian point of view. His facts and arrangements are 
such as give a just insight into the subject.”—The Presby¬ 
terian. 
“ This is a view and consideration of the origins of various 
social institutions, inventions, customs, notions, beliefs, etc, 
from the creation to the crucifixion.” “ The discussion is so 
handled as to display the power and purposes of God as the 
central source and governing influence in the history of tho 
human race."—Tho Independent. 
“Among the subjects are: First Writing; Angels; The 
First Man; The First Marriage; The First Language ; The 
First Sabbath; The First Sin; The First Child; The First 
City; The First Government; First Heathen Poets and Phi¬ 
losophers; First Theatres; First Money,” etc., etc. 
“ The plan is unique, and excites curiosity. It is well car¬ 
ried out, and affords the reader quite a mass of instructive 
and often entertaining Information.”—Evangelist. 
“Even the brief specimens give no adequate Idea of the 
wide range of subjects—religious, scientific, literary, and 
artistic—which are treated. There Is no parade of learning, 
but a vast amount of information is gathered together.”— 
N. Y. Observer. 
“ There is a great deal relating to ancient things, which 
renders this book convenient as a work of reference and 
general reading.” “It is a specimen of work of which any 
publishing house might be proud.”—Scientific American. 
“Though exceedingly interesting for general reading, it is 
remarkably imbued with the spirit of the Bible. As a text¬ 
book, it cannot but prove of great value.”—The Searcher. 
“It is the fruit of extensive reading, and gives a large 
amount of valuable instruction in a condensed and well 
arranged form. Parents and Sabbath-school teachers espec¬ 
ially, will find this an excellent help.”—Amer. Theol. Review. 
“ A book of great research and remarkable interest."— 
Boston Courier. 
“ The perusal of this work has afforded us great interest 
and pleasure." “ We do not know when we mot with a work 
which condenses so much of real value into so small a com¬ 
pass."—German Reformed Messenger. 
“ Instead of a school-book we have here somethin? of a 
far higher nature, calculated to enlist both the interest and 
sympathies of matured minds.” “ Is perhaps tho most at¬ 
tractively got np volume we have seen issued from the Amer¬ 
ican press.”—Tlie Witness, Edinburgh. 
“Wo commend tho book as worthy of a Dltice in everv 
family library.”—The Christian World. ” 
“Asa present book for intelligent yonngpeople.it Is al¬ 
most without a rival.”—The New York Times. 
Every page of this work is full of instruction, presented 
In a condensed and impressive way, which renders it other¬ 
wise attractive as it is valuable. We commend this treatise 
to the attention of parents, superintendents of Sabbath- 
scliools, and to all lovers of religious knowledge.”—Chris¬ 
tian Intelligencer.
