Excerpt from Some Sources of Human History
The purpose of these outlines is to show some of the interests of human, history, to those who are neither specialists nor students, and therefore a Very general view is all that is attempted. In the choice of material, that which is less familiar has been taken' in preference to that which has been already often treated: and the books referred to are those which are easily accessible, in preference to monumental works.
The Object has been to look over the country on each side of the beaten tracks of history teaching, and see some of the distant views and green fields. All that is said here no more represents the know ledge oi the subject, than a glimpse of far-off hills teaches their geography. Yet even such a view may be relished by those who never expect to wander so far from the road.
The dating given by the Egyptians themselves has been followed here, in accordance with the usage of Champollion, Rookh, Unger, Mariette and Wiedemann, which there is no reason to abandon.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating realm of unwritten history, exploring the rich tapestry of human civilization before the advent of written records. The author challenges the conventional view of history, arguing that much can be gleaned from examining the physical traces left by past societies. Through a captivating analysis of ancient roads, town plans, names, architecture, and art, the author provides a fresh perspective on the development of early civilizations. He examines the lasting influence of pre-Roman settlements in Britain, the intricate organization of Egyptian society as revealed by their monumental architecture, and the profound connection between art and the human spirit across different periods. The book also explores the impact of climate change and sea level fluctuations on human history, demonstrating how these forces shaped the course of civilization. The author's exploration of the forgotten byways of written history - including the meticulously detailed records of ancient Egypt and the enduring legacy of Mesopotamian law - sheds new light on the interconnectedness of human experience across time and place. This book offers a compelling and insightful exploration of the world before recorded history, reminding us of the enduring power of the past to illuminate the present.
