Description:Historical Sources.- The Student Learns of the many events and facts which make up the history of mankind from the historical books written and published in our own time. But how do the authors of these books know what happened centuries ago? They Consult the sources of history. There are three kinds of such sources: (1) Oral Traditions.- The stories of happenings of the past, if handed down for a considerable time by word of mouth only. These stories tell of the deeds of prominent men, both good and bad, or of the begginings andvicissitudes of nations, and frequently they relate to matters of of religion. Many, perhaps the greatest part of them, have under-gone changesin the couse of time and have become more or less fabulous. But Historions often discover even in these a certain amount of truth, though it may be obscured by legendary fictions. (2) Relics.- By relics we understand the weapons, tools, household utensils, articles of ornament, etc., which were used by men of former ages; also their works of art, the ruins of their buildings, the very remains of their dead buried in simple graves or elaborate mausoleums; finally the pictorial representations in painting and sculpture. (3) Written Records.- Inscriptions and especially manuscript or printed books, coming from persons both able and and willing to tell the truth. It does not matter whether or not the authur lived at the time the events he describes took place, provided it is known that he had reliable information. The Bible.- The noblest of all the written records concerning the history of mankind ithe Bible. God, Himself, is the the authorof this book of books, those of whom we call the authors of its various partsacted, as it were, only as God's secretaries. They wrote down what God "inspired" them to write. The Present edition differs from the authors' previous books in that it represents an arrangement which returns to the older division of history. This volume combines the whole of both ancient history and medieval history, each part being calculated to furnish the matter for half a school year. FRANCIS S.
