Présentation de l'éditeur
The individual who submits the accompanying stanzas to the public eye, is particularly desirous of guarding against the assumption, that he haa presumptuously endeavoured, in the following pages, to give a detailed narrative of Man shistory, from The Creation to the present epoch. So far from this, his sole aim has been that of pourtraying a few of the more striking events in our common annals. The pardon of the Reader is solicited for the anachronism, committed in giving precedence to the lines having reference to the shameful partition of Poland, over those relevant to the startling French Revolution of last century; whereas, the early breathings of that great political tornado anticipated, by a few years, the disgraceful division of unhappy Poland, by the tyrants of the North, The plan adopted in the succeeding pages, is the following; The First Canto gives a cursory sketch of some of the more prominent events in Man shistory, from the Creation of the World, to the period of the establishment of The Children of Israel in Judtea, after deliverance from Egyptian bondage. In the Second Canto are brought to view the great Empires of antiquity; and, after an exordium on Greece, the early cradle of civilization and lettered refinement, the narrative is conducted to the Augustan A ge, and the period of Our Saviour sbirth the initiatory epoch of modern social polity.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, an epic poem in six cantos, charts the history of man from the Creation to the Victorian era. The author takes a sweeping chronological view of history, tracing themes of human endeavour, sin and salvation through the ages. From the Creation, the Fall, and the Great Flood to the rise and fall of empires and the coming of Christ, the author shows how man has been shaped by his choices and by the influence of divine providence. The author sets his narrative against the backdrop of major historical events and ideas. Ancient Egypt, Greece, the Roman Empire, and the Renaissance are all examined to illustrate the progress of civilisation, science, philosophy and the arts. Particular focus is given to the life and teachings of Christ, as the author explores the themes of sin, suffering and redemption that run through human history. The book is a fascinating and insightful exploration of the human condition, seen through the lens of history and religion. It is a work that will appeal to readers interested in history, religion, and the enduring questions of life and death.
