The Ancient History of the Egyptians, Carthaginians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Medes and Persians, Macedonians and Grecians (Vol. 1 of 6)
Charles Rollin, principal of the University of Paris, wrote his Ancient History in the 1730s as a moral and literary education for young readers, and it was read in English translation for more than a century. This first of six volumes opens with Rollin's preface on the usefulness of history and a long survey of Greek religion, festivals, oracles, athletic games and theater. It then gives the history of Egypt, its geography, priests, soldiers, customs and kings, followed by the history of Carthage from its foundation to its destruction by Rome, and begins the history of the Assyrians. Rollin follows the ancient authors closely and draws lessons from them at every turn. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
