Beacon Lights of History, Vol. Xv: General Index: Topical Questions; the World's History (In 15 Volumes)

First published posthumously in 1902, this collection of the lectures of American historian JOHN LORD (1810-1894) is a charming rummage through 6,000 years of European and American history, exploring the past from "the old pagan civilizations" to modern leaders and cultures on both sides of the Atlantic. This replica edition features all the original illustrations, hard to come by in other recent versions. It will delight both readers of history and lovers of beautiful, classic books. Volume XV features the general index for the entire 15-volume series, topical questions that teachers and discussion groups will find useful, a chronology of world history, and other reference material.
