Excerpt from The Ideas That Have Influenced Civilization in the Original Documents, Vol. 1 of 10: The Ancient World
This leads us to say that we consider the work to contain as many possibilities from an educational standpoint, as any published in years. It is more than a history; it is an education. It is not intended to take the place of schools or text books, but it is intended to put in vivid form, in the shape of illustrative masterpieces which can never grow old, the slow increase one by one of the fund of ideas which should be every man's capital in his struggle to do what little he can to make himself and his community wiser or better.
