Sinossi

Excerpt from Ridpath`s History of the World, Vol. 5 of 5: Being an Account of the Principal Events in the Career of the Human Race From the Beginnings of Civilization to the Present Time, Comprising the Development of Social Institutions and the Story of All Nations From Recent and Authentic Sources

In the succeeding chapter, the history of Great Britain will be given in like manner, from the period of political stagnation after the failure of the first Home Rule Bill to the rush made by the empire after the Chinese spoils in 1898 - 99. Subsequently, the history of France, of Germany, of Italy, Spain, Por tugal, Russia, Turkey, the Oriental nations, Australia, and the Minor American Republics, will be considered in their turn, with as much fullness as the limits of the volume will permit. The object, in a word, is to make a fairly com prehensive narrative of the course of events in all the leading nations during the closing pe riod of the century. The author delivers the completed work to the public with an expres sion of thanks for the favor with which his Universal History has been hitherto received, and with the hope that the present additional volume may be found as acceptable as its predecessors. J. C. R.
