PRESS OF FARRAR & BARNARD 687}^ Washington St., BOSTON. PREFACE. This book now offered to the public is designed to be one for con- venient reference for students and literary men, and to give a general outline of the History of the World in the order of its progress, to those whose time and means will not allow them to spend months and years in acquiring even a limited knowledge of History by the study of more elaborate works. The author has endeavored to condense and arrange the contents of the book in the best manner to^ facilitate research and impress facts upon the memory. No effort has-been spared to insure strict accuracy in regard to the events here recorded. But to collect and arrange such a vast variety of information from so many sources with complete accuracy can hardly be expected. Every reader of History is aware that much which is recorded in ancient History is mythological or traditionary, hence the great discrep- ancy among historians as to the events they record. For this reason great caution has been observed to select facts only from such sources as are generally acknowledged reliable at the present day. The historical chart will be a valuable auxiliary to the work as the rise, progress and decline of the several nations of the earth may thus be easily traced. The names of the rulers recorded in the regal index tables may be found in other parts of the book at corresponding dates, and the same may be said in reference to the index table of Battles. The biographical index contains nearly 3,000 names of the principal persons mentioned in the book at corresponding dates, and this with the regal index will enable the reader to see what distinguished persons were contemporaries in different parts of the World's History. As no work of the kind has ever been offered to the public, the author trusts this will meet a great want, felt not only by historical students and writers, but by society at large. S. H. Boston, June 1, 1869. ; EXPLANATION OF THE -HISTORICAL CHART. In this Chart time is supposed to be flowing uniformly from left to right and represents at one view the rise, revolutions and fall of the principal states and empires of the world. It will be readily noticed that the space -apportioned to each country rep- resents its relative political and historical importance, rather than its geo- graphical extent. It is also apparent that those portions of country which are least known in the world's history, as the greater part of Africa, and the northern part of Asia, are not at all on the Chart. It often happens, owing to conquests and political revolutions, that the several parts of an empire or state cannot be placed contiguous to each other. To obviate this apparent difficulty, the different parts of the same empire are colored alike, as the dominions of Charlemagne in the ninth century. The spaces between the vertical lines represent the centuries before and after the Christian era ; those between the horizontal lines the Grand Divis- ions of the earth and their sub-divisions, as the names at the end of the Chart indicate. Thus by tracing the Chart from top to bottom one may see what states and empires were contemporaneous at any chosen time. At 100 A. D. we see Rome represented as virtually the "mistress of the world." Parthia withstood her power and the Goths, Irish and iPicts as well as the Arabs, Hindoos and Chinese were not conquered. By tracing the Chart from left to right we see the rise, progress and fall of nations, whence they sprang and what states rose from their ruins. This may be seen by the four great em- antiquity. succeeded in pires of . The Assyrian was the most ancient and was 536 B. C. by the Persian empire which merged into the Macedonian empire in 330 B. C, being conquered by Alexander the Great, and at length became a Roman province, Rome, the most powerful empire of antiquity, was di- vided in the fourth century A. D., the western part of which was subjugated in the fifth century and the eastern in the fifteenth. The same political changes are mentioned in the Regal Index tables and still more at length in Synchronology. In fine, the Historical Chart is to Synchronology what maps are to geography.

Abstract The Third Battle of Ypres was officially terminated by Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig with the opening of the Battle of Cambrai on 20 November 1917. Nevertheless, a comparatively unknown set-piece attack – the only large-scale night operation carried out on the Flanders front during the campaign – was launched twelve days later on 2 December. This thesis, a necessary corrective to published campaign narratives of what has become popularly known as „Passchendaele‟, examines the course of events from the mid-November decision to sanction further offensive activity in the vicinity of Passchendaele village to the barren operational outcome that forced British GHQ to halt the attack within ten hours of Zero. A litany of unfortunate decisions and circumstances contributed to the profitless result.

  • THE BRITISH ARMY in the LOW COUNTRIES, 1793-1814 By
    ‘FAIRLY OUT-GENERALLED AND DISGRACEFULLY BEATEN’: THE BRITISH ARMY IN THE LOW COUNTRIES, 1793-1814 by ANDREW ROBERT LIMM A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY. University of Birmingham School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law October, 2014.

ABSTRACT The history of the British Army in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars is generally associated with stories of British military victory and the campaigns of the Duke of Wellington. An intrinsic aspect of the historiography is the argument that, following British defeat in the Low Countries in 1795, the Army was transformed by the military reforms of His Royal Highness, Frederick Duke of York. This thesis provides a critical appraisal of the reform process with reference to the organisation, structure, ethos and learning capabilities of the British Army and evaluates the impact of the reforms upon British military performance in the Low Countries, in the period 1793 to 1814, via a series of narrative reconstructions. This thesis directly challenges the transformation argument and provides a re-evaluation of British military competency in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars.

  • Reading for Monday 4/23/12 History of Rome You Will Find in This Packet
    Reading for Monday 4/23/12 A e History of Rome A You will find in this packet three different readings. 1) Augustus’ autobiography. which he had posted for all to read at the end of his life: the Res Gestae (“Deeds Accomplished”). 2) A few passages from Vergil’s Aeneid (the epic telling the story of Aeneas’ escape from Troy and journey West to found Rome. The passages from the Aeneid are A) prophecy of the glory of Rome told by Jupiter to Venus (Aeneas’ mother). B) A depiction of the prophetic scenes engraved on Aeneas’ shield by the god Vulcan. The most important part of this passage to read is the depiction of the Battle of Actium as portrayed on Aeneas’ shield. (I’ve marked the beginning of this bit on your handout). Of course Aeneas has no idea what is pictured because it is a scene from the future... Take a moment to consider how the Battle of Actium is portrayed by Vergil in this scene! C) In this scene, Aeneas goes down to the Underworld to see his father, Anchises, who has died. While there, Aeneas sees the pool of Romans waiting to be born. Anchises speaks and tells Aeneas about all of his descendants, pointing each of them out as they wait in line for their birth. 3) A passage from Horace’s “Song of the New Age”: Carmen Saeculare Important questions to ask yourself: Is this poetry propaganda? What do you take away about how Augustus wanted to be viewed, and what were some of the key themes that the poets keep repeating about Augustus or this new Golden Age? Le’,s The Au,qustan Age 195.

  • Abstract Hodnet, Andrew Arthur
    ABSTRACT HODNET, ANDREW ARTHUR. The Othering of the Landsknechte. (Under the direction of Dr. Verena Kasper-Marienberg). This thesis offers a socio-cultural analysis of early modern German media to explore the public perception of the Landsknechte, mercenaries that were both valued and feared for their viciousness, and their indifference displayed towards the political motivations of their clients. Despite their ubiquity on European battlefields, and their role in repulsing the 1529 Ottoman invasion of Austria, by 1530 the Landsknechte and their families were perceived as thoroughly dishonorable by central Reformation society and were legally excluded from most urban centers. This study engages with a critical assessment of contemporary songs, religious pamphlets, broadsheets, political treatises, autobiographic sources, and belletristic representations of the Landsknechte to explore the paradoxical relationship that they maintained with the state actors that relied on their employment. Through engaging with the cultural genres present in these depictions, the othering of the Landsknechte stems from their origin as the militaristic arm of Emperor Maximilian I’s attempted centralization of the Holy Roman Empire, continuing with the economic challenge the mercenary lifestyle posed to traditional social structures, and ending with their inextricable association between with the increasingly destructive and intrusive military-fiscal state. © Copyright 2018 by Andrew Arthur Hodnet All Rights Reserved The Othering of the Landsknechte by Andrew Arthur Hodnet A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty of North Carolina State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts History Raleigh, North Carolina 2018 APPROVED BY: _______________________________ _______________________________ Dr. Verena Kasper-Marienberg Dr.
