Excerpt from A Smaller Ancient History of the East: From the Earliest Times to the Conquest by Alexander the Great This is a book for the young, both in schools and families. It has a twofold purpose: to supply the learner with some informa tion respecting the Eastern Nations, with which he comes in contact while reading the histories of Greece and Rome: and to set before the general reader a brief account of the course of ancient civilization in its earliest seats. Besides this general purpose, the book is specially designed to aid the study of the Scriptures, by placing in their true historical relations those allusions to Egypt, Assyria, Babylonia, Phoenicia, and the Medo Persian Empire, which form the back-ground of the history of Israel from Abraham to Nehemiah. The present work is an indispensable adjunct of the Smaller Scripture History;' and the two have been written expressly to be used together.
