Excerpt from Famous Men of Ancient Times The reader of these pages will perhaps remark, that the length of the following sketches is hardly proportioned to the relative importance of the several subjects, regarded in a merely historical point of view. In explanation of this fact, the author begs leave to say, that, while he intended to present a series of the great beacon lights that shine along the shores of the past, and thus throw a continuous gleam over the dusky sea of ancient history, - he had still other views. His chief aim is moral culture and the several articles have been abridged or extended, as this control ling purpose might be subserved.

Excerpt from A Popular History of the Ancient Britons or the Welsh People: From the Earliest Times to the End of the Nineteenth Century It is generally admitted that the Celtic race is more emotional, poetic, and religious than the anglo-saxons. This applies to the Brythonic or Cymric branch of the race. The tendency to the apprehension of the spiritual, the eternal, and the supernatural is conspicuous in the nature and history of this race. It would be impossible to write a history of this race without including the phenomena of religion. Accordingly the author has endeavoured to describe the earliest form of religion in Britain, including the Druidical, and the natural religion which the Ancient Britons maintained in common with the other nations of Europe. The early introduction of Christianity into Britain is brought under review. The native Church of Britain and its independence of Rome and Canterbury are described and traced through its long struggle from Augustine until the conquest under Edward I. In connection with the history of religion it would be impossible to pass over the origin and development of Nonconformity in Wales in comparatively modern times hence an account is given of the religious denominations among the Welsh people. This has been done with a due regard to historical fairness. Such as the book is, the author commends it to the perusal especially of Welshmen, and also of Englishmen. The manu script was completed nearly two years ago, and its publication was postponed owing to the attention of the public being absorbed in the war in South Africa. The author had not heard of any other work in preparation by other writers before he had finished his own work, otherwise he might not have entered upon his task.

Basic Approach Developed as a comprehensive introductory work for scholars and students of ancient and early medieval Indian history, this books provides the most exhaustive overview of the subject. Dividing the vast historical expanse from the stone age to the 12th century into broad chronological units, it constructs profiles of various geographical regions of the subcontinent, weaving together and analysing an unparalleled range of literary and archaeological evidence. Dealing with prehistory and protohistory of the subcontinent in considerable detail, the narrative of the historical period breaks away from conventional text-based history writing. Providing a window into the world primary sources, it incorporates a large volume of archaeological data, along with literary, epigraphic, and numismatic evidence. Revealing the ways in which our past is constructed, it explains fundamental concepts, and illuminates contemporary debates, discoveries, and research. Situating prevailing historical debates in their contexts, Ancient and Early Medieval India presents balanced assessments, encouraging readers to independently evaluate theories, evidence, and arguments. Beautifully illustrated with over four hundred photographs, maps, and figures, Ancient and Early Medieval India helps visualize and understand the extraordinarily rich and varied remains of the ancient past of Indian subcontinent. It offers a scholarly and nuanced yet lucid account of India s early past, and will surely transform the discovery of this past into an exciting experience.
