History of the Preparation of the World
A NEW edition of Dr. David R. Breed's "History of the Preparation of the World for Christ," has just been issued by the Fleming H. Revel Company. In this work is traced the rise of the different nations of ancient times, their development in civilization and culture, their subsequent gradual disintegration, and final subjection to Roman rule. The formation of the Roman Empire, uniting all civilized nations under one government and in the use of two languages, and making possible intercourse between them, is shown to have been a necessary preliminary to the coming of Christ. This edition has been enlarged and partly rewritten, being thus brought into agreement with the latest scholarship, and is thoroughly and adequately illustrated with maps, charts, and photographs.
