C. 489452 in PUBLISHERS' PREFACE T51 !he Publishers of the Charles Dudley Warner Library of the ti^ World's Best Literature have no more gratifying evidence of popular appreciation than the suggestion made to them from many quarters that readers need a more than ordinary indexical guide to the use of a work so vast in scope and so rich in contents as a whole Library of all Literature. The attempt to give in the Library not only a great variety and an immense mass of good reading, but a full story as well of fam- ous authors and of notable books, has resulted in a comprehensive and wonderfully entertaining history of human culture, to the study of which the largest school ever gathered under one standard are already devoting themselves. The publication, in fact, is epoch-making, not only in the variety, quality, and immense amount of its entertainment for readers, but in its educational value for every class of students, and its use in aid of all varieties of work depending upon knowledge. The Library approves itself to impar tial int erest as a Universal Text-Book, adequately representing the intellectual, moral, and spirit- ual treasures of the human race, and not less as a mint of wealth for every need of workers for human welfare or seekers of culture. Its incalculable service to home-study and self-culture will be appreciated by those who most thoroughly put it to the test of regular and permanent use. It is the book of a life-time and of complete culture. With it alone both the entertainment and the improvement, for which whole libraries /are gathered, are provided, in both amount and variety far beyond what any ordinary library would supply. Year after year for any course of years, the eager student or the ordinary reader may take courses of acquisition or enjoyment, as in some vast university whose doors never close and whose resources of spiritual ministry are never exhausted. j^ PUBLISHERS' PREFACE The work of teaching in all its grades, of moral and spiritual ministry from the pulpit, and of daily supply of interest through THE PRESS, — three forms of the labor which secures the progress of mankind, cannot fail to find in the Library an invaluable dependence. The TEACHER who will make it a constant study; the preacher who will use it as a handbook of ideas and suggestions and illustra- tions; and the journalist to whom it is a resource for every theme of higher interest, will find incessant satisfaction in help given by it. But a difficulty, no doubt, is found, not only by the mass of readers, but by the student and the scholar, in the immense amount and variety of a whole Library of Literature. It is that of finding what one wants at once easily and certainly. Here are brought together all the nations of culture and all the varieties of literature, as in that vast mosque of Arab Spain whose twelve himdred pillars make a wilderness of aisles and vistas. To read for a particular purpose, or to a large definite result, requires guidance of no common sort. The usual index, which answers the purpose for an ordinary book, is inadequate for a Library of all books. And not even a thoroughly perfected index will anything like conduct the inquirer along the numberless lines and through the countless points of interest of the whole record of human culture. A combination of expedients has seemed necessary, and has been provided. The fundamental feature of this combination, designed to make the Library complete within itself, is a Comprehensive Analytical and Critical Index, designed to show as completely, clearly, and accurately as possible what the contents of the Library are, and where they can be found. Not only are subjectsjiamed with refer- ences, but outlines of all important subjects are given, enabling the reader to take his start in knowledge from the index itself, and to thus see exactly what he will find under any reference. The pos- sessor of this Index will find all the great paths and points of the Library clearly indicated. It is the adequate final feature of the great work. But even larger and more adequate help than any Index can be hiis 'n en designed and execut-ed, to serve the various purposes of a PUBLISHERS' PREFACE ^ comprehensive Guide to the whole body of matters covered by the Library. These matters are, first of all, the various national litera- tures found in the whole of human history. To serve as a general guide to these, conspectuses of all the literatures have been pre- pared, on the plan of a chronological catalogue of the authors in each national literature, and a concise critical characterization of eacii author, sufficient to make the conspectus of any literature an outline history of that literature. Both the ^chronolagy— a»d the char- acteristics of literatures are thus given, with proper indexical refer- erces to the Library, for any study or reading desired. In the same direction of guidance over the vast field of the litera- tures of the world, an Outline Survey has been added, on the plan '■f noting, first, parts of the world and nations of culture to which ^ooks introduce us, and, second, the cities of note in history as centres jf culture. The concise sketches of this Survey constitute a com- plete OUTLINE HISTORY OF CULTURE in all agcs and all lands — a framework and background for the Library story of authors and of books; and the references to the Library given under each sketch show what each nation or city has signified in the history of culture. The Outline Survey thus presented is continued and completed by a very extended analytic review of the chief forms and manifesta- tions of literature, of the great topics of literature, and of the immense variety of examples of literature which are given in the Library. The chief products of intellectual exertion in literature, such as poems, novels, dramas, histories, etc., etc., are classifiefl, with full bodies of references for each class, showing its representation in the Library. In the same way the chief matters found in literature to have en- gaged human interest, such as agriculture, education, children, religion, journalism, science, humor, music, woman, etc., etc., are classified with a full body of referencee for each class, showing how to pursue study of any class through the whole Library. Each of these bodies of references is an outline history of the theme covered by it, and even as an outline marvelously rich in interest. '" And last of all, with in some respects the largest interest of all, the vast mass of Readings in the Library, are grouped in classes, . PUBLISHERS' PREFACE on the double plan of representing nationalities chronologically and of bringing together readings of the same kind, as humorous, oratori- cal, dramatic, novel, historical, poetical, etc., etc. The reader may elect any course of readings of interest to him, such as novel read- ings, and pursue it through all the different nationalities, or in any particular one, at his will; and in the same way he may give his attention to different classes of novels, such as historical novels, pur- pose novels, novels of character or of mere story, etc., etc. On many large topics of great interest, the complete courses which can thus be taken will lay not only readers but educatQ-s and authors under great obligation. By combining the several parts of the Outline Survey in one view of any important topic an outlir.e of knowledge of that topic can be had such as only a Library reviev makes possible. And for the convenience of persons desiring to take comprehensive courses of reading or study, covering the entire field of literature in the four years of a regular School, College, or University course, the final feature of the Guide presents the chief contents of the Library arranged in four grand divisions, each occupying a year, with nine monthly parts for each year, and four weekly sections for each month. There is thus complete provision for either an extended comprehen- sive course, or for a great variety of elective courses on special topics, with large exhibits of information for those who consult the Library as a vast treasury of knowledge. The Puljlishers, therefore, present this Index-Guide to the Warner LiERARV OF THE World's Best LITERATURE as an aid to study, to the interest of readers, and to all literary work, at once unique in plan and of incalciiiable value.

INTRODUCTORY NOTE OF Explanation: — In the pages which follow, the reader will find the entire contents of the World's Library of Best Literature reduced froin the alphabetical order of the great work into the separate literatures known in history, and the names under each separate literature noted in chronolog- ical* order, with each name concisely treated, as to dates and some chief points of accurate knowledge, so as to supply a comprehensive short answer in regard to the name. There is thus provided a conspectus of all the literatures, to which readers can turn for either one of three purposes: — (i) To survey any literature, or any period of a literature, as a section of world culture, or a stage in the development of a section. (2) To note in what connection with other names a name appears in any literature, and the relation of the character of that name to the characters of other names among w^hich it is found. (3) To definitely and distinctly place any name in the history of the national literature to which it belongs. For every name appearing in these national and chronological conspectuses of literatures, an exact reference to volume and pages of the Library is given, thus supplying a complete and perfect guide for reading or research in the pages of the Library, as well as giving about thirty outline histories of literatures, for the uses just mentioned. In several respects the average reader or student will find it most interesting and instructive to attempt the full survey of a literature, which the conspectus of that liter- ature makes simple and easy. The conspectus is not a mere list of names and dates. Enough is stated under each name to make the conspectus an outline history of the literature, compre- hensively though concisely enumerating the aspects which that *The "chronological" order is, in some of the lists, that of the author's birth; in others that of about the dates of literary activity. It is not intended to fix perfectly exact dates, the only object at all important being to group together authors who were together in their lives and their production of writings. INTRODUCTORY literature has presented. The conspectus is one of characteriza- tions as well as of names. Through comparison of these characterizations, it is easy tc quickly note the character of the age in which any name appeared, and what was the galaxy of names of that age. And for any one name the reader or inquirer will find a quotable accurate characterization of the author bearing the name, a good short answer to the question who this author was. In no existing work of reference, or text-book of literature, is there any such systematic attention to the providing of a quotable, concise yet comprehensive characterization for every name, nor could the ordinary reader or inquirer make such characterizations from the encyclopaedia articles accessible to him. Nor does there exist anywhere else such a definite and distinct intellectual map of the names of literature in all ages and all lands. INTRODUCTORY ^ '^Literature exists to please, — to lighten the burden of men's lives; and those men of letters are the best loved who have best performed literature's trtiest office.^'' "Be careful to limit your time for reading, and devote it exclusively to the ivorks of the great minds of all times and countries. These alone really educate and instruct.^ BOOKS: A WORLD OF BOOKS An Egyptian writer, of about the thirteenth century before Christ, said in an appeal to a young man whose chief care was for pleasure : ^* They tell me that thou forsakest books, and givest thyself up to pleasure. Thou art as a shrine without its god, as a house without bread. *^ John Milton's idea was that books contain a potency of life; the purest efficacy and extraction of the living intellect that bred them; and that a good book is the precious lifeblood of a master- spirit. The greatest scholar of the Fathers of the Church, Saint Jerome, gave this injunction. Never let your book escape your HAND or your EYES. The great Benedictine institutions which followed this rule, and immensely promoted human progress during the seven centuries from 500 to 1200 A. D., always em- braced : — (i) A library of books; (2) A school of scribes for making manuscript copies of books; and (3) A school of instruction open not only to students for the church, but to every one. And just in proportion as the best books were multiplied, were preserved and known, and were made accessible to use, was popular progress maintained. The best books were the in- strument of the church. Alcuin of York (735-804), the famous librarian, scholar, and teacher, whose story our Library gives (Vol. i, 295-302), wrote to Charlemagne in the year 796 to sug- gest transplanting from York to France the rarer books of scholastic learning, in order that the fiozvers of England might give him a graceful garden — the blossoming of Paradise with its abundant fruits. "Your gracious zeal,» said Alcuin's letter, "will not overlook how, upon every page of the Holy Scriptures, we are urged to the acquisition of wisdom; how nothing is more honorable for insuring a happy life, nothing more pleasing in the observance, nothing more efficient against sin, nothing more praiseworthy in ^ INTRODUCTORY 4 any lofty station, than that men live according- to the teachings of the philosophers. Moreover, nothing is more essential to the government of the people, nothing better for the guidance of life into the paths of honorable character, than the grace which wisdom gives, and the glory of training and the power of learning. » King Alfred the Great (849-901), whose stor>' the Library tells (Vol. i, 389-98), came a century later, with the same high idea of books and of learning; and his chief glory, as the most remarkable man that ever sat on the throne of England, is the pains he took to give his people the best books in their own tongue. He first made England a real kingdom, and first gave her a flag on the sea, but his brightest fame is his care for literature.* These are two examples out of a great number which might be cited from the story which our Library gives of the literatures of the whole world and of all mankind, the lesson of which is the value of knowing what are the best books of all ages and all lands, and what can be quoted from them by way of adequate example of their contents. The thousand years since the age of Alfred and of Alcuin have not altered the principle; they have rather immensely deepened its significance. Nearly four hundred years after Alfred of England, and two hundred years before Columbus, Alfonso the Wise of Spain (1221-84) made a great record of benefits to his country, and of honor to himself, through his interest in books and his care for learning. He did not, like the English Alfred, have success either in war or in politics; his reign (1251 to 1284) went out in darkness and storm; yet he had created Spanish law; had with wonderful general knowledge codified the common law; had put aside Latin for the tongue of the people; had estabhshed a great school of arts and sciences and literature; and, as the author of the earliest known specimen of Castilian prose, had won the name of "father of Spanish literature. » His story in our Library falls next before that of Alfred the Great (Vol. i, 383-^8)- England's younger statesman to-day, Arthur James Balfour (1848-), Lord Salisbury's nephew, spoke not long since to the students of Glasgow University on the enjoyment which may be *The attentive reader of the story of liler.ilnrcs will note that in ever>- one a new depart- ure of great .siRiiificance is made when the employment of the tongue of the people is first attempted, in place of the Latin or some other tongue in use for the making of books and laws. INTRODUCTORY g derived from books by the ordinary reader, with ordinary capac- ities and ordinary leisure, to whom reading ought to be, not a business but a pleasure. To these students he said: ^*You are just reaching the period when, at the end of your prescribed course of study, the whole field and compass of literature lies outspread before you; you may enter at your leisure into the intellectual heritage of the centuries.*' The Library (Vol. iii, 12S7-1304) offers fifteen pages of Mr. Balfour's admirable talk on the pleasure pure and simple which may be derived from every-day attention to reading. Mr. Balfour criticizes Mr. Frederic Harrison's theory of study of books, which the Library gives in an essay of eight pages, as an example of literature by j\Ir. Harrison, on ' The Use and Selection of Books' (Vol. xii, 6975-84). The two papers make a capital pres- entation of a most interesting subject. There are hundreds of such presentations in the Library, setting themes of extreme interest in a clear light, stimulating to thought and to discussion. Be the reader's desire enjoyment with Mr. Balfour, or strenuous study with Mr. Harrison, the Library shows him the whole field and compass of literature, and opens to him, reader or student or scholar, the intellectual heritage of the centuries. Mr. Harrison (1831-) says of the best books, to the story of which, and substantial satisfying examples from which, the Library is devoted : — * The great masterpieces of the world are the master instru- ments of a solid education, qiiite apart from the charm and solace they give us.'' You may read for enjoyment only, for rest after toil, for pleasure pure and simple, but the educating uplift will come. The story of Gibbon (1737-94) by Lecky, at that great writer's place in the Library (Vol. xi, 6271-6332), tells us how Gibbon was made one of the master-minds of modern literature, not by study at Oxford, but by free reading during five years at Lau- sanne in Switzerland. It may be that, as Mr. Harrison says, ^^ the reading of great books is a faculty to be acquired, not a natural gift," but the acquisition comes readily to those who can have opportunity and guidance such as our Library gives. An unexampled treasury of reading of every kind, to meet every taste and give a variety as rich as nature's wealth, is 6 INTRODUCTORY offered to readers, to students, to scholars, for the first time in the world, in our Library. The very idea of doing- it is a new idea. It signifies more than the world was ready for imtil these end-of-the-century advances in knowledge and thought and experience. It is a twentieth-century idea, impossible to have been suggested until the marvelous nineteenth-century knowl- edge of the ends of the earth, and of the origins, developments, and present aspects of human culture in far-away and strange lands had begun to make all mankind of interest one to another. Babylonia, Egypt, India, China, are known now as they were not a generation ago. And now first, since the Roman poet Terence drew the plaudits of the Roman theatre by the grand line, Ho))io siiui : Jnimani nihil a me alicnuni piito : **/ am a uian, and cvcrytJiing Jinman interests me,^^ the sympathies of faith and thought and hope, in the chief schools of Christian culture, are extended to all mankind.* There are no literatures now, of however remote a past, or however distant and strange a land, which are not dealt with according to their essential value. There are no races or nations outside the pale of literary appreciation; no productions of honest worth excluded from the fellowship of books. And to an extent never even approached until the century now coming to a close, the nations of name and place in history, and on the map of the world, have become nations of culture and of brilliant literary production, at once reflecting national characteristics and contrib- uting to the revelations of thought and aspiration and hope which mark the forward movement of humanity. It will, perhaps, surprise, as well as delight, the ordinary reader, to see how immense, reckoned by books of fine character and rare interest, the human family of our own day is, reaching into Russian, Polish, Hungarian, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Dutch, and Spanish centres of culture, as distinctly as over the more familiar American, English, German, Italian, and French fields. And when the books of all ages and all lands, and the litera- tures even, which survive in but an imperfect record, are brought under inspection and appreciation, — Greek, Latin, and Sanskrit books, which are among the glories of the human mind; and the ♦Tennyson's 'Akhar's Difain,' in the inscription ami notes especially, calls attention to a contcniporarj' of Queen ]-",lizal)etli, the great Mogul Kniperor of India, Akbar (15.12-1605), in whom the sentiment of h\nnanity rose above Mohammedanism to thorough acceptance of the Spirit of Christ in his Golden Rule. INTRODUCTORY y immensely si.^nificant remains of the literatures of Babylonia and Egypt; the remarkable tradition, also, of China in literature, and the relation of Japan to that tradition, — we may see with what breadth of meaning a scholar in world-knowledge, like Mr. Bal- four, could speak of ^Hhe whole field and compass of literature; the intellectual heritage of the centuries. ^^ One comprehensive book of all writers and all writings of rare worth and rich interest, such as the Library is, has a thou- sand aspects of attraction not easy to note. It is in the best possible form the story of human progress, the picture of the mind of man, the autobiography of the human race. Not a man living could pretend to be superior to the service which such a book can render. No man anywhere in the world, who reads English, can fail to find his information in very many fields delightfully augmented as he turns these wonderfully rich pages, not of literature only, but of biography, of history, of science, of everything that is of human interest. Not only is there nothing like it, but there is nothing which even approaches it, as a gen- uine treasury of things interesting and things instructive. It is not merely the character of its fascinations, but their infinite variety. No such series of essays on authors, and of appreciative and sympathetic estimates of the most notable writings, with substantial satisfying examples of the work of each writer, is in existence anywhere, or has ever been attempted. The essays tell the story of the author, — the man, or the woman, — not at large, but so far as will show how mind, character, circumstances, and experience, made the writer, and contributed to the character of notable books. In a very large number of cases authors of character and fame are commemorated by writers exceptionally competent, by knowledge and literary skill, to make a perfect portrait, within the limits of a concise essay. The critical appreciation of writers of note, and notices of books in which such writers are at their best, make a body of literary criticism, and history of literary production, not to be found anywhere else. But the highest praise of the Library is in its large, substan- tial, satisfying examples of literature, added to critical biograph- ical essays of high character. Under ^* Gibbon,'^ for example, an essay by Mr. Lecky filling eight pages, and admirably portraying the man and the author, is followed by fifty-four pages of substantial and satisfying examples, — nine examples, 8 INTRODUCTORY every one of which is a complete reading, rich in interest, thoroughly substantial and satisfying. There are more than five thousand most choice readings of this kind in the Library, selec- tions expressly made for household and general reading, offering constant and varied entertainment, and at the same time of rare educational value. Of that delightful thinker, Amiel, in the first volume (479-92), there are twenty-six examples of his work, every one of them a choice setting of a fine thought. Of the inimitable stories of Hans Anderson there are thirty-six pages. Of the ^Arabian Nights' there are forty pages; and close upon this another forty pages, giving twenty-one examples from seventeen Arabic writers. Anglo-Saxon literature appears by nine choice examples, after fifteen pages of the story of its origin and character. These thirty-one pages of story and selections are a magnificent example of the scope and scale of the Library. Turn the page from ^Arabic Literature* to ^Arago,* and \ with the story of that great French scientist we have fifteen ! pages by him giving his account of Laplace and of " the principal astronomical discoveries ** in the history of astronomy. It is one of the finest chapters of science ever written. In the same way the example from the writings of Mr. Gladstone is a splendid chapter on Macaulay (Vol. xi, 6359-72); and next after it comes Mr. E, L. Godkin's ten-page chapter on * The Duty of Criticism in a Democracy.* Such large and rich articles are a frequent feature of the examples of literature in the Library, chapters of science, of history, of biography, of criticism, of thought, and of counsel. If we turn from the Gladstone chapter to " Macaulay, '* we find sixty pages representing Macaulay's best work. The eleven prose selections are every one admirable chapters on interesting themes. Then two whole poems are given, one of them filling fifteen pages. The author of the story of Macaulay, Mr. J. B. McMaster, supplies an example of literature, in one of the excerpts from his pages, which is a fine chapter on *■ Town and Country Life in the United vStates in 1800.* If we turn the page, to the story of Hungary's great dramatic poet, Madach, we find in one article thirteen pages from his masterpiece to Dante 29 215 Jacopone da Todi (i 230-1 306), an Italian Pietist poet and satirist; author of dialect poems, notable for stinging sarcasm aimed against Pope Boniface VIII 29 286 Cavalcanti, Guido (1235-1300), one of the earliest Italian poets, author of sonnets, ballads, and songs 29 99 Guinicelli, Guido (1240-76), an Italian poet, author of poems, apostro- phized by Dante as a model of grace and style 29 239 Polo, Marco (1254-1324), a famous Italian traveler of Venice; from 127 1 to 1292 in the ser%dce of Kublai, the Khan of Tartary, and able thus to collect information which was later given to a friend and brought out as < The Book of Marco Polo > 29 434 Cecco d' Ascoli (1257-1327), an Italian poet, student of astrology and of demonolog}-, burned at the stake for heretical opinions 29 99 Cino da Pistoja (1270-1337), an Italian jurisconsult, author of a celebrated commentary on the Justinian Code, an intimate friend of Dante, and one of the lyric precursors of Petrarch 29 no 14 ITALIAN LITERATURP: From Dante Italy looks to her second of four great poets in Petrarch (1304-74), the poet of the»passion of love, and of one beautiful woman, Laura, — as the world now knows him, but who was crowned at Rome, laureate of Christendom, on Easter Day, 1341, for a Latin heroic poem on ^Africa.* A magnificent Latin scholar as well as delightful writer of Italian verse, Petrarch is a grand figure, second only to Dante. The Library makes for him a book of twenty-seven pages (Vol. xix, 11357-83), giving nine pages of story, and nineteen beautiful examples. Of writers of the age of Petrarch we may note: — Boccaccio (1313-75), whose prose < Decameron, > or tales rich in varied charm and de- hght, justifies a book of twenty-six pages 4 2089-115 Catherine, St., of Sienna (1347-80), author of greatly admired letters and treatises, dictated during ecstasy, — a new edition of her writings in 1896 29 98 Bruni, Leonardo (1369-1444), a noted humanist, translator of Greek and Latin classics 29 80 Poggio Bracciolini, Gian Francesco (1380-1459), an eminent Italian humanist, who contributed greatly to the discovery of manu- scripts of the ancient classics, and made several translations into Greek from the Latin 29 433 Beccadelli, Antonio (i 394-1471), an Italian humanist and poet, rich in wit and fancy 29 49 Alberti, Leone Battista (1404-72), eminent Italian architect; author of both Latin and ItaMn poetry, of essays in theology, law, art, and architecture 29 g Pulci, Luigi (1432-87), author of < Morgante Maggiore > (first printed 1481) 20 11891-903; 29 444 Bojardo, M.

His < Orlando Furioso^ is an epic poem longer than Homer's Iliad and Odyssey taken to- gether, an endless series of stories of romantic adventure so attractively told as to compel the interest of the reader. The story as told in the Library (Vol. 2, 741-59) shows both the man and the poet. And how Pulci (1431-84), the little-known author of the first romantic poem which Italy produced, had prepared, the way for Ariosto, by his grotesquely humerous ridicule of the troubadours, is also told in the Librarj^ (Vol. 20, 11891-11903), with eleven pages of Pulci's masterpiece, as it was translated by Lord Byron.

A name of more recent interest is that of: — Zeleguy, Zdenko (1853-), a Moravian poet under the pseudonym of « Franz Voneisen,» author of works of special Moravian in- terest 29 595 CHRONOLOGICAL CONSPECTUS Servian Literature commands the interest of the following names: — Karadzic, Vuk Stefanovotch (1787-1864), a famous Servian author, founder of modern Servian literature; author of an epoch-mak- ing < Dictionary, > and of a collection of < Popular Serb Songs ;> and a principal reformer of the Servian literary language 29 297 Ban, Mathias (181 8-), a Servian dramatist, journalist, and critic.... 2 9 39 Milicevic, Milan (1831-), a Servian geographical, ethnological, and historical writer, and novelist; author of stories, stxidies, and sketches of special Servian interest 29 382 Jovanovic, Jovan (1833-1904), a Servian journalist, humorist, and poet, author of extremely popular poems and farces, and specially notable for the influential poUtical journals which he has founded and edited 29 293 TURKISH — ARMENIAN — SCANDINAVIAN LITERATURE y^ CHRONOLOGICAL CONSPECTUS Turkish Literature has names of note as follows: — Mesihi, a renowned Turkish poet of the fourteenth century, one of the seven whose names written in gold are suspended in the temple of Mecca 29 380 Lami'i, a notable Turkish poet and prose-writer, author of epics founded on Persian legends, and of prose translations from the Persian poet Jami, — died about 1530 29 323 Ibrahim of Aleppo (1490-1549), a famous Ottoman writer on jurispru- dence, compiler of a great code of laws known as < Confluence of the Seas> 29 282 Baki (-1600), the greatest of Turkish lyric poets 29 38 Ziver, Pasha (1793-1862), a Turkish official of high rank, and a poet greatly esteemed by the Turks 29 597 CHRONOLOGICAL CONSPECTUS Armenian Literature has a record in which these names are of special note : — Emine, Niklta Ossipovich (1815-91), Armenian scholar of eminence, translator into Russian of the chief Armenian historians, and author of a monumental < History of Armenia,* of which a French translation exists 29 169 Calfa, Ambroise (1830-), a French- Armenian, author of Armenian versions of French masterpieces and of an Armenian < Universal History ' 29 89 Calfa, Corene (1835-), Armenian author of immensely popular poems and songs and of a *■ History of Armenia > 29 89 CHRONOLOGICAL CONSPECTUS Scandinavian Literature covers three distinct national de- velopments, those of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. Norway and Denmark were politically one before 18 14, with a common language, and a common intellectual centre in Copenhagen. Each of the three developments has special interest. Sweden was ear- liest in contributing great names to the history of culture, in Swedenborg and Linnaeus, while Norway gave birth to, and Denmark was the scene of the life of, Holberg, the Scandinavian Shakespeare. 78 SWEDISH LITERATURE Swedish Literature covers two hundred years and has a wide range of contributions to the factors of modern progress. Two names especially, from its roll of great characters, belong to mankind in the departments of religion and of science: — Swedenborg (1688-1772), one of the most interesting and most re- markable of modern religious initiators has a book of story and of choice examples from his writings in the Library 24 14237-58 Linnasus (1707-78), who achieved European distinction in science, and who still ranks as one of the greatest names in masterly study of nature, has a most interesting portrayal in the Library, with examples which report his observation of Lapland and the Lap- land Alps 16 9077-90 Dalin (170S-63), figures as «the father of modern Swedish poetry, » and the initiator of a new literary age, inspired by English literature, and first manifested in 1832 by a Swedish imitation of Addison's < Spectator. > German gravity gave way to Eng- lish wit and French vivacity, until the character of the national literature was completely transformed 8 4278-84 Bellman (1740-95), a lyric poet of Sweden and author of songs, has an interesting story with choice examples. He was the favorite of the Swedish king, Gustavus IIL, and of the nation 3 1763-72 Kellgren, Johan Henrik (1751-95), one of the greatest of Swedish poets, especially notable for excellent lyrics, and for dramas and operas the plots of which were mostly furnished by Gustavus III 29 291^ Leopold, Karl Gustaf af (i 756-1829), a Swedish poet, at one time the literary dictator of his country, a chief representative in Sweden of the French classic school of poetry 29 337 Franz6n, Frans Michael (1772-1847), a Swedish poet, university pro- fessor and bishop, author of poems marked by great natural charm . 2 9 200 Tegn6r (1782-1846) carried off the palm, and became the leader of Swedish poetry, in the age of new developments introduced by Atterbom. He was noted for his love of nature and his inter- est in old legends of an heroic past. Longfellow translated his beautiful < Children of the Lord's Supper >; and his has made him most widely known. The Library gives fourteen pages from this 25 14563-80 Geijer, Erik Gustaf (i 783-1 847), a Swedish historian, university pro- fessor, and parliamentary orator, author of epoch-making con- tributions to Swedish history 29 212 Afzelius, Arvid August (1785-1871), Swedish poet, notable for re- searches in old Norse history and literature, and for a famous collection of old Swedish folksongs 29 6 Atterbom (i 790-1855), one of the greatest lyric poets of his country, especially sought to free Swedish literature from French in- fluence, beginning about 18 10, and reaching success during the SWEDISH LITERATURE 79 next forty years. Great service was rendered by him also in earnest treatment of religious questions. He first wrote sonnets in Swedish, and did much fine critical work 2 933-42 Dahlgren, Karl Fred, (i 791-1844), Swedish author of humorous poems and sketches, songs and ballads, and stories of great merit 29 129 Arwidson, Adolf Ivar (1791-1858), Swedish poet, and author of collec- tion of <01d Swedish Folksongs> 29 27 Almquist (i 793-1 866), author of the romances which are said to be the best of their kind in Swedish literature, wrote also lyrics, dramas, and epics, and by his versatile and powerful genius made a great impression. His story is a strange one. His novels showed socialistic sympathies, and bore upon problems of the day, such as that of marriage i 439-46 Fryxell, Anders (1795-1881), a Swedish historian, literary critic, and grammarian, author of valuable < Stories from Swedish History,> and of other ^A^•itings of special Swedish interest 29 204 Crusenstolpe, Magnus Jakob (1795-1S65), Swedish publicist and nov- elist, author of historic-romantic tales, and of historical, bio- graphical, and political works 29 126 Bremer, Fredrika (1801-65), came into Swedish literature very young, 182S and 1830, and made a great success. She wrote novels, short stories, verse, and travels, and was an active promoter of the rights of women 4 232S-42 Mellin, Gustaf Henrik (1803-76), a Swedish writer, author of novels dealing with Swedish history, and of historical and biograph- ical studies 29 377 Runeberg (1804-77) ranks as «the greatest name in Swedish litera- ture, >> in spite of the fact that he is of Finland, which in 1809 was torn from Sweden and annexed to Russia. He represents an advance from Teg^er even, to realism of the truest sort, vividly reflecting life and nature as Finland had taught them to him. But one departure from native limitations he made. He adopted the Swedish language in his writings, and thus became a great figure in Swedish literature. Several of the finest pieces of this great Swedish poet are given in the Li- brary 21 12495-508 Bottiger, Carl V. (1807-78), essayist and Swedish translator of Dante, Tasso, etc 29 69 Ridderstad, Karl Fredrik (1807-86), a Swedish poet and novelist, famous for his eloquence and patriotism, author of ver>^ suc- cessful lyrics, and of several historical romances 29 458 Carlen, Madame Emilia (1807-92), shares with Miss Bremer the honors of female Swedish authorship.

Her constant theme is the position of woman and her struggle to be herself. Her success with dramas was remarkable, and her novels are of great interest 9 5 162-74 Ahlgren, Ernst (Benedictsson, Victoria, 1850-S8), Swedish author of novels, stories, and tales descriptive of native types, ranking very high among recent female writers of Sweden 29 7 Heidenstam, Werner von (1859-), a Swedish poet and novelist, origin- ator of a movement against extreme realism, and notable for his use of Oriental themes 29 257 DANISH LITERATURE g, Levertin, Oscar (1862-), a Swedish poet, author of works of romance and mysticism, a writer at the head of the younger lyric poets of Sweden 29 340 << Kalevala *> is the name of a great Finnish epic, the realism of which, in its reflection of everything Finnish, makes it one of the most interesting epics ever written. The story of finding the four cycles of folksongs which compose it, and of the shaping of the rich materials into a grand whole, with fine examples, merits a niche of special interest in connection with Swedish litera- ture. The Grand Duchy of Finland was until 1809 an im- portant part of Sweden 15 8443-54 CHRONOLOGICAL CONSPECTUS Danish Literature occupies in certain respects the central and representative position for the three Scandinavian countries, largely in consequence of the fact that its great modern develop- ment began about 1720 with a poet who is for the whole Scan- dinavian world what Shakespeare is to the nations which use English. Before Holberg, however, our conspectus finds names of note, as Danish letters emerged from the ages of Latin cul- ture: Saxo Grammaticus, a Danish historian (died about 1208), author of a work of Danish history in Latin, the elegant style of which was much admired 29 481 Pedersen, Christiern (1480-15 54), a Danish scholar and historical writer, an ardent reformer, author of a translation of Luther's Bible into Danish ; and by this and other literary works a large contributor to the formation of the literary language of Den- mark 29 421 Tycho Brahe (1546-1601), an illustrious Danish astronomer, one of the eminent founders of modern astronomical science 29 535 Arrebo, A.

The story of Holberg's marvelous genius, of his production within a few years of twenty-eight wonderfully rich and finished comedies, and of other work in great variety, 6 82 DANISH LITERATURE histories, criticism, philosophy, and essays, through which he impressed himself upon the whole spiritual life of modern Denmark, is accompanied in the Library with nearly thirty pages of fine examples illustrating «the greatest name in all Scandinavian literature » 13 7409-44 Faleter, Christian (1690-1752), a Danish poet, author of satires, and of prose studies of the times notably interesting and successful. 2 9 179 Ewald (1743-81), who was the most conspicuous figure of the period between Holberg, the father of Danish literature, and the great poet Oehlenschlager, made most interesting contributions to Danish literary development 10 5614-26 Falsen, Enevold de (1755-1808), a Danish poet and public official, author of dramas received with great public favor 29 179 Heiberg, Peter Andreas (1758-1S41), Danish political writer, satirist, and dramatic poet, author of widely successful comedies, and social satires 29 257 Baggesen (i 764-1826), whose poetical < Comic Tales* gave him his first fame in 1785, was regarded in his own day as the greatest of li\nng Danish poets. A poetic description of his journeys is his most important prose work. Examples from it and from his poems are given in the Library 3 1235-42 Oehlenschlager (1779-1850), the greatest of Danish poets, wrote a large number of tragedies, and a mass of miscellaneous produc- tions in prose and verse which fill twenty-six volumes of his collected works. The beautiful love tragedy', ^Axel and Val- borg,> is esteemed the finest thing in Danish literature. Twelve pages from this are given in the Library; six pages from a splendid drama of the bringing of Christianity to Norway; and three pages from < Aladdin, > a dramatic fairy tale embodying the gospel of genius. One of the great poet's dramas attempts to reconstruct the historical Hamlet of Saxo's chroni- cle, and another introduces no female character. The book of thirty pages of Oehlenschlager in the Library' is of fascinating interest, seven pages of fine critical story and twenty-three pages of examples 18 10745-74 Blicher (i 782-1 848) has a story and examples in the Library very rich in interest. He wrote national peasant stories and poems specially representative of the simple life and quaint legends of Jutland, one of the places of origin of the earliest settlers of England 4 2064-74 Grundtvig, Nikolai F. S. (1783-1872), an eminent Danish scholar in history, languages, and the religions of mankind ; author of very popular Danish poems, and studies of Norse mythology; and the originator of a movement designed as a new Reformation of Christianity 29 236 Ingemann (17S9-1S62), who was the literary' favorite of the Danish people after Oehlenschlager's death in 1850, is especially known by historical novels and poems which have caused him to be DANISH LITERATURE 83 named the Danish Walter Scott. In his hymns and short stories, however, and in his character and sentiment, he was of a type unlike Scott, and a very interesting example of Danish culture 14 7982-90 Hauch, Johannes Carsten (1790-1872), Danish poet and novelist, author of extremely successful plays and romances, and of lyrics which show him to be Denmark's foremost poet of nature and senti- ment 29 252 Boye, Kaspar J.

In other almost equally remarkable works, the style is quite different, yet the execution not less a success 19 1 1017-24 84 DANISH LITERATURE Allen, Karl Ferd. (1S11-71), Danish historian and university pro- fessor of history and northern archaeology at Copenhagen; author of < Handbook of the History of the Fatherland, > < His- tory of the Three Northern Kingdoms, > and other works very democratic in tone and of great Scandinavian interest and in- fluence 29 15 Hoist, Hans Peter (1811-93), a Danish poet and novelist; professor of language and literature in Copenhagen; author of lyrics, sketches, dramas, and novels exceedingly varied, elegant, and tasteful 29 271 Kjerkegaard, Soren Aaby (1813-35), an eminent Danish religious writer, notable for new departure conception of religion as a personal matter between each soul and the Supreme Being... 2 9 307 Moller, Peter Ludwig (1814-65), a Danish poet and aesthetic writer; resident in Paris the last fifteen years of his life, author of lyrics, criticisms, and studies 29 386 Lembcke, Eduard (1815-97) , a Danish poet, author of patriotic poems and songs, and of excellent translations of Shakespeare Byron, and other English poets, —his one of the favorite national songs 29 334 Worsaae, Jens Jakob (1821-85), a Danish historian and public official, author of works of importance for the history of the Danes in Great Britain and Normandy 29 585 Ewald, Herman Frederik (1821-), a Danish novelist, author of his- torical novels, and of fine character-studies 29 176 Molbech, Christian K.

He ranks with Holberg and Oehlenschlager as a creator of literary advance in Denmark, and a powerful influence for progress in the culture of the Scandinavian countries 4 2299-2310 NORWEGIAN LITERATURE 85 Drachmann (1846-), author of forty-six volumes of poems, dramas, novels, short stories, and sketches, represents what is known as «the new era>> in Danish literature. His most important work is largely autobiographical. His best poems and tales are those dealing with the sea and the life of the sailor, fisher- man, and voyager 8 4840-50 Jacobsen, Jens Peter (1847-85), a Danish naturalist and realistic novelist, author of tales of great merit in plot, construction, and style 29 286 Brandes, Edvard (1847-), Danish dramatist, story- writer, and essayist. 29 72 Recke, Ernst von der (1848-), a Danish romantic poet, author of dramas, lyrics, a tragic opera, and of books on the art of Dan- ish versification 29 453 Christiansen, Arne Einar (1861-), a Danish poet, author of come- dies, tragedies, historical and dramatical plays in verse, marked by free play of the author's genius 29 108 CHRONOLOGICAL CONSPECTUS Norwegian Literature goes back into Danish as American does into English, because of the fact that Denmark and Nor- way were not politically separate until 18 14, and the greatest name in Danish literature, that of Holberg, stood for Norway in fact, because of the birth on Norwegian soil of the poet who bore it. When the Norwegian people became partly separated from Denmark, the earliest Norse patriotism in literature was that of Norwegian genius. Bjerregaard, Henrik Anker (1792-1842), Norwegian dramatic poet of very influential position 29 61 Keyser, Jakob Rudolph (1803-64), one of the foremost of Norwegian historians; author of histories of Norway and of the Norwegian Church under Catholicism and of other important historical studies 29 303 Welhaven (1S07-73), the first to make a name of distinction after Wergeland, began his career as a critic of Wergeland, and contributed to Norwegian literature a large number of valuable critical studies, and a body of finished and exquisite poetry, second only to that of Bjornson and Ibsen 27 15779-89 Wergeland (1808-45), who published in 1830 a lyrical drama en- titled «The Creation, Man, and Messiah, » and whose other work, extremely emotional, patriotic, and free, was voluminous in amount, but not exemplary in literary finish 27 15779 Munch, Peder Andreas (1810-63), a distinguished Norwegian historian, antiquary, and philologist, university professor at Christiania ; his masterpiece the < History of the Norwegian People* 29 396 86 NORWEGIAN LITERATURE Munch, Andreas (1811-84), a Norwegian poet and dramatist, a uni- versity professor at Christiania ; author of popular poems, dramas, and prose studies 29 396 Asbjornsen (1S12-85), a Norwegian scientist of distinction in zoology and deep-sea exploration; became still more famous as the author of ^ Norwegian Folk Tales > and < Norwegian Fairy Tales and Folk Legends, > published in 1842-45. He was widely active for twenty years in connection with the forestry and turf indus- try interests of Norway, and used his experience of nature and of the people to give the stories which he retold a delightfully real- istic setting. Fine examples of his work are given in the Library. 2 905-16 Moe, Jorgen Ingebrektsen (1813-80), a Norwegian bi.shop and poet, author of poems and stories for children, and of a collection of popular fairy tales of the greatest influence on Norwegian lan- guage, literature, and art 29 386 Collet, Jakobine Camilla (1813-), a Norwegian novelist of very wide popularity, and notable for her championship of the political emancipation of women 29 115 Aasen, Ivar Andreas (1813-96), Noj v.egian philologist and poet, noted for efforts to create a new Norwegian in place of Danish 29 i Colban, Adolphine Marie (1814-84), a Norwegian novelist, author of stories and tales marked by fine spiritual insight and warm human sympathy 29 114 Friis, Jens Andreas (1821-), a Norwegian philologist, ethnologist, and sketch-writer, author of exhaustive investigations of the lan- guage and literature of the Fins and Laps 29 203 Lieblein, Jens Daniel Carolus (1827-), a Norwegian Egj^ptologist, author of works on Egyptology in French, German, Swedish, and Norwegian 29 342 Ibsen (1828-), the story of whose author.ship and large examples of whose best work make a book of great interest in the Library, has had a literary career of nearly half a centurj^ (from 1S49), although his marked success began with his first national his- torical drama, in 1856; and it is his social dramas, in which he keenly criticizes the conditions of modern life, which have given him his fame throughout the world. His dramatic poems, < Brand > and < Peer Gynt, > are regarded by many of his countrj-men as his greatest work. < Peer Gynt > has been called the vScandinavian < Faust > 14 7839-64 Bjornson (1832-), to whom the Library devotes nine pages of most interesting story and fifteen pages giving eight fine examples of both poetry and prose, shares with Ibsen the highest honors of Norwegian literature. He more distinctly represents Norwegian life and character; and as a thinker and prophet in religious, educational, and political matters, he is of the highest rank. His fine peasant tales were his earliest work; then came a series of plays dealing with social problems; and his gi'eatest triumphs followed in a series of powerful novels 4 1959-S2 ICELANDIC LITERATURE 87 t^ie* (1S33-), who ranks in Norway with Ibsen and Bjornson, and a number of whose novels and short stories have appeared in English, is especially famous for his stories of the sea and of the fisher-folk whose life is on the sea 16 9048-58 Daae, Ludvig (1834-), Norwegian historian, author of important Norse annals and sketches 29 128 Dietrickson, Lorents H.

D. 449, and their rapid conversion to Christ- ianity from the coming of missionaries in 597. The first written English of which we know (Anglo-Saxon English) is that of the laws of the first Christian king, Ethelbert of Kent, who died in 616. The laws of Ine, the earliest shaped English code, were put into writing about 690. But more markedly the Angles of Northum- bria, and of the old Roman capital there, York, first secured large literary beginnings, in poetry, in prose, in a library into which books in manuscript were gathered, and in great teachers using these books for education. York became famous through- out Europe for its collection of books and its scholars. Alcuin, born about 735, went thence to carry learning and education to the court and realm of Charlemagne. Boniface about 800 A. D. carried Christianity to the pagan Germans of Germany. Two great monasteries, that of Whitby under the woman Abbess Hilda, where Casdmon appeared as a poet, and that of Jarrow, the home of the grand scholar, teacher, and author, Bede, ranked with York as seats of Anglo-Saxon culture, although with Latin used as the 'language of learning. As Caedmon sang, English poetry began. As Bede wrote in Latin, English prose was proph- esied; and when King Alfred translated Bede into the language of the people, it was fully manifested. Anglo-Saxon Literature, the earliest beginnings of litera- ture, before the language had become modified from Anglo-Saxon ♦Britain, as Caesar and the Romans after him conquered it, was wholly the country of Celtic races, Britons, of which only the Welsh survived, in what is now England and Wales. The Jutes, Angles, and Saxons, who began coming and conquering in A. D. 449, were not Celtic, but Teutonic or Germanic, from Jutland and other near parts on the east side of the Korth Sea. They were warlike heathen, while the Britons had become Christian, and their conquest of Britain swept away Christian culture and churches, as well as some fine Roman centres of cultivation, which the five centuries from Caesar's time had car\-ed out of the vast forests of the still largely uncultivated island. But Angles and Saxons and Jutes had their own rude yet rich culture, domestic life, agriculture, farms, and homesteads, and when the king of Kent got a Christian wife, Bertha, daughter of the king of France, she was not long in securing a beginning of Christian teaching and church organization, the first example of woman's work in the making of England. It is very important to remember that Britain was Roman and Celtic for five hundred years before it was Anglo-Saxon, and that it had been more or less Christian before the « sea-wolves » descended on its coasts in A. D. 449, and began a clean sweep of Roman and Briton to make way for the Angle-land which first had large unity under King Alfred. 9 j-Q ENGLISH LITERATURE to English, as we know it, and when scholars used Latin in writ- ing works of learning. The Library has a full story, with fine examples (Vol. i, 543-73)- An early note of utterance, such as primitive culture abounds in, opens the long roll of English letters: — Merlin, a British bard supposed to have lived in the fifth century. reputed author of a * Prophecy > brought down in Welsh tradi- tion, and given by Geoflfrey of Monmouth in the twelfth cen- tury 29 379 Cjedmon (680), the earliest English (Northumberland) poet, the « father of English song," a poet of rare originality, an Anglo- Saxon Milton, at the great monastery of Whitby I 547. 552, 572; 30 361; 29 87 Beowulf, an ideal hero celebrated in a poem bearing his name not far from the year 700, a monument of Anglo-Saxon poetry more important than any other i Sio-l Bede, or Baeda (673-735 A. D.), a scholar, theologian, historian, and educator, in the monastery of Jarrow, of whom the recent historian Green says that in him « English literature strikes its roots,» and that «he is the father of our English education".. I 545, 555-6; 29 5o; 30 360 Cynewulf, a great Anglo-Saxon poet, who may have lived not very long after 700 A. D 1 552-3 Anglo-Saxon Chronicle : a record of events set down, not in Latin, but in the native speech, tracing in outline the histof)^ from A. D. 449, the date of the first coming of any English to Brit- ain. It was probably first made a book about S50 A. D. The oldest known manuscript carries the history to 891. It was later carried on, generation by generation, to 11 54 i 554 Alfred the Great (849-901), king of England 871-901, a great initiator of the use of Anglo-Saxon instead of Latin in books and edu- cation, a translator of Bede's and other Latin works into Anglo-Saxon, and an author of Anglo-Saxon writings I 389-398, 555-6 Alfric author of Homilies written about the end of the tenth century, and later, in Anglo-Saxon, and of other works in Anglo-Saxon, of a quality high enough to appear now "splendid English — fully qualified to be the medium of the highest learning." Alfric is called the last great writer before the Norman Con- quest. The evils of wars, conquests, and bad times prevented attention to matters of culture i 5i(>-f ENGLISH LITERATURE ,^1 Celtic Literature, to which Renan and Matthew Arnold called attention, as a branch which united with Anglo-Saxon to make English Literature, has large and fine treatment in the Library (Vol. vi, 3403-50), with reference to its four divisions, L'ish, Scottish, Welsh, and Cornish. The stories and the ex- amples under each cover the whole ground : — Aneurin was a Welsh bard of the sixth century A. D., whose poem, *Gododin,* is the longest and the most important composition in early Welsh literature, and one of the finest monuments of Cymric literary history. The story of Aneurin and the ex- amples of his poem are of the greatest interest i 539-42 Ossian and Ossianic Poetry, the story of Irish and Scottish very early poetry and legend, which Macpherson worked over into the modern poem < Ossian, > has adequate treatment in twenty pages of rich narrative and examples in the Library 19 10865-84 The Mabinogion covers another Celtic chapter, that of the Welsh romances, the names of whose authors have been lost 16 9373-80 The Arthurian Legends cover the ground of stories sung or recited during the five hundred years A.

The search for this miracle-working bowl, and its protection, in which only the pure and stainless could succeed, was the theme of stories which for hundreds of years made a great impression in many literatures 13 7515-50 The Ballad, which in reality belongs to all literatures, has a large development in English literature, as will be seen from the story and examples in the Library. The examples fill thirty- six pages 3 1305-47 Folk-Song, which equally reaches into all lands, has English rela- tions which may be seen in the twenty-five pages of story and examples given in the Library 10 5853-77 Myths and Folk-Lore of the Aryan Peoples (18 10522-42) is another story and series of fine examples in the same great field. And into relation with these may be brought one of the story-books of olden time, the Gesta Romanorum, «the most curious and interesting of all collections of popular tales » 11 6261-70 The Bestiaries (and Lapidaries) of the Middle Ages, collections of stories and superstitions relating to animals (and precious stones), or using these to frame a sort of parable, are care- • 132 ENGLISH LITERATURE fully explained in the Library ("4 1852-60), with interesting examples.

T74 AMERICAN LITERATURE CHRONOLOGICAL CONSPECTUS American Literature of high definitive character begins with names of unsurpassed eminence in the history of thought, of statesmanship, and of world-changes; the earliest grand notes of utterance, "heard round the world, *^ the thinking of Jonathan Edwards and the science of Benjamin Franklin, falling in the third decade* of the eighteenth century; but earlier lines connect back to the England of Shakespeare and Cromwell, and present names of no small note for the English-American planting of culture and commonwealth, from which grew the large fruit of learning and letters now known as American literature. Ward, Nathaniel (1578-1653), an English-American clergf;y'man and lawyer; author of the first code of laws established in New England, known as the ^ Body of Liberties > 29 561 Cotton, John (1585 -1652), a Puritan divine, one of the founders of Boston in New England, author of a large number of religious writings 29 122 Hooker, Thomas (1586-1647), an American founder of the colony of Puritans at Hartford in New England, author of religious writings .29 272 Winthrop, Governor John (i 587-1649), the first colonial governor of Massachusetts; author of a history of New England from 1630-49, and of other writings of extreme historical interest 29 580 Bradford, William (158S-1657), a notable leader of the Pilgrim Fathers in the years 1602-57, and author of their history to 1647 29 72 Wheelwright, John (i 592-1 679), an early American religionist; a class- mate in study of Oliver Cromwell at Cambridge, England ; one of the new belief malcontents in Boston, Massachusetts ; and author of controversial writings 29 570 Winslow, Edward (i 595-1655), one of the most eminent lay leaders of the Pilgrim Fathers at Plymouth in New England, author of writings of great importance for their history 29 579 Davenport, John (i 597-1670), Puritan divine, one of the founders of the colony of New Haven 29 133 *To count decades and centuries accurately it is only necessary to remember how the figures must, of necessity, run. Thus i, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 counts a decade ; 11-20 the next decade, 21-30 the next, 31-40 the next, and so on. In the same waj- i-ioo counts a century, 101-200 the second centun,', 201-300 the third century, 1701-1800 the eighteenth century, and 1801-1900 the nineteenth centurj'. The twentieth centurj- will run 1901-2000. Ninety-nine years under the number of the first year of the pas.sing century and one year under the next number fall into any century. The thirtieth century, for instance, will have ninety-nine years under 29 and one under 30, 2901-3000. This giving the one year of any figure to the previous figure seems puzzling, but so the facts make perfectly plain. There is no way to get a century without taking joo as its last year. This makes 101 the next century's first year.

C. 480-406), is represented in literature by nineteen dramas, out of ninety-two which he is said to have produced. As .^Eschylus was the grandest, and Sophocles the most perfect, in poetic art, so Euripides was by far the richest in human interest. The Library gives a large number of fine examples 10 5569-go Thucydides, the earliest writer of contemporary history, and the first critical historian, lived about B. C. 471-400, and achieved al- most unexampled distinction as a master of Greek prose in a history covering twenty-one years of the Peloponnesian War.

Constant attention to war had prevented literary development, until contact with Greek culture had come, and transfer from Greek to Latin was easier than native pro- duction. Andronicus, a poet and actor, although a slave, who lived B. C. 284-204, translated plays from the Greek, mostly tragedies, with a few comedies. He was himself an educated Greek, made a slave by the chances of war, until freed by his Roman master, whose sons he had educated. He translated Homer's Odyssey for readers of the rude Latin 29 20; 10 5475 Naevius, who lived about B. C. 272-204, and wTOte a large number of dramas, both tragedies and comedies, and an epic on the Punic wars, — a great original national poem, from which both Ennius and Virgil borrowed largely, — was the first in the line of true Roman poets, and the first Latin writer of original power 29 400; 10 5475 Plautus, Rome's greatest comic poet, who was born about B. C. 254, and died B. C. 184, almost wholly borrowed his comedies from Greek authors, and thus dealt with Greek scenes and charac- ters. The Library has a full and careful story, and nine pages of examples 20 11557-72 Ennius, who lived B. C. 239-169, the period of Rome's greatest suc- cesses in war, wrote, in the form of an epic poem, < Annals, > surveying the whole of Roman history; but only fragments of it are now extant. The Romans looked to him as the father of their literature. The story of his genius and work is of great interest 10 5475-8^ Cato,, called «the Censor,» whose life covered the years 234-149 B. C, wrote a book on < Agriculture, > which is the oldest volume o.; Latin prose extant. He also wrote < Origines > of Latin history, which are lost, and speeches, to the number of one hundred and fifty, of which fragments from eighty exist. Other \\Tit- ings on eloquence, medicine, and the militaiy art show an au- thor of almost encyclopaedic range 6 3347-52 Pacuvius, Marcus (B. C. 219-129), a Latin tragic poet; author of plays nearly all founded on Greek subjects, and known to us only in fragments, one of which shows him to have been a notable free-thinker 29 412 LATIN LITERATURE 211 Terence (B.

C. 106-43, and who, in addition to being the most eloquent of Roman orators, was an author of the first rank in many fields of knowledge and thought, has a book of fifty pages in the Library, twelve pages of most interesting stor^r and thirty-eight pages of fine examples 7 3675-724 Cjesar, Rome's greatest man, soldier, and statesman, and second only to Cicero as an orator and a writer of Latin prose, lived in the years B. C. 100-44. The Library has a very full story of his genius and work in letters, and twent^^-one pages of large examples from his writings 5 3037-66 Nepos, Cornelius (B. C. 99-24), a Latin biographer and historian; au- thor of lives of eminent men, much valued as schoolbooks from their simphcity of style 29 402 Lucretius, whose life covered the years B. C. 98-55, was not only a most vigorous and original poet, but a singularly bold and powerful thinker, in matters, especially, of popular religion. ..16 9304-18 Catullus, who lived in the last thirty years of the Roman Republic, B, C. 84-54, the age of Cicero and Caesar, was Rome's first lyric poet, and one of the greatest lyric poets of all literature. The Library adds to a critical story of his genius and career fifteen fine examples of his lyrics 6 3359-70 Sallust, who lived B. C. 86-34, and wrote a history of the years B. C. 78-67, which is lost, is kno^vn by two small historical works, of which the fine style and the political bearing have made them notable 22 12743-58 Virgil, wno lived B. C. 70-19, and produced pastoral poems, called < Eclogues > (B.C. 37); agricultural poems, called (B. C. 37-30) ; and a great national epic, the ^neid (B. C. 30- 19), ranks as, in every way, the most representative of Latin writers and a world-poet second only to Homer, Dante, and Shakespeare. The Library has a full critical story and a large array of fine examples 26 15413-38 Horace, the virtual poet-laureate of Augustus, lived B. C. 65-8, and was especially distinguished for the perfection of his odes, in addition to and an 13 7619-40 2j, LATIN LITERATURE Livy, who was born B.C. 59 and died A. D. 17, produced a history of Rome of very great interest as story, rather than strict history, but of which three-fourths are no longer extant. The Library gives ten pages of choice examples 16 9091-104 Tibullus, the first of the elegiac poets of Rome, of whose undoubted work, sixteen poems, all are love-elegies, lived B.C. 54-19.. 2 5 14932-42 Propertius, the author of five short books of elegies, mostly love- poems, but the best of their kind in Latin, lived about B.C. 30-15 20 11S61-7G Phffidrus, a Roman slave, freed by Augustus; author of a body of fables which are extant in their original poetic form, and also in three different versions in Latin prose 29 427 Labeo, Marcus Antistius, a celebrated Roman jurist of the Augustan age; author of a great number of works on jurisprudence, of which only one has come down to our time 29 318 Ovid, who lived B.C. 43 to A.

D. 30), an officer in the Roman army, under the Emperor Tiberius; author of a com- pendium of Roman and universal history which is still extant. 2 9 419 Seneca, born at Corduba, in Spain, B.

D. 65, the most brilliant literary figure of those reigns; a Stoic philosopher; the earliest Latin author whose career fell wholly in the Christian era, and whose work in literature is comparable, to a certain extent, with ethical teaching proceed- ing from the life of Christ 2 2 131 19-32 Silius Italicus (A. D. 25-101), a Roman poet; author of an epic in the style of Virgil, and of a Latin translation of the Iliad 29 494 Calpurnius Siculus, Titus (A.

D. 102; was a WTiter of epigrams of the very highest quality, save as in some of them offense to decency is given 17 9750-5S LATIN LITERATURE 213 Persius, who lived A. D. 34-62, in the age of the worst of the Cae- sars, ranks as third among Roman satirists 19 11343-46 Quintillian, for many years a teacher of rhetoric, and pleader of causes at Rome, lived A.

Professor C. H. Toy, of Harvard University, gives a sketch, in ten pages, of Accadian-Babylonian Literature (Vol. i, 51-83) with twenty-three pages of examples, among which appears the story of the Flood, from which the Hebrew story seems to have been derived. Egyptian Literature, of which a full sketch is given in eight pages, is admirably illustrated by one hundred and twelve pages 2i6 CHINESE— JAPANESE — INDIAN LITERATURE of examples (Vol. ix, 5225-344), of which five are stories, two are historical, eight are poetry, and seven are ethical and didac- tic. Elsewhere also in the Library a great variety of information, supplementing this special article, will be found. Of the literature of China, dating, as to its oldest work, the *Yi King* or Book of Changes, from B.C. 2852, or nearly twenty centuries before Homer, and, as to the present form of its great classics, from the lifetime of Confucius (B.C. 551-478), the Li- brary has, in the compass of twenty pages, a book of story and selections at once clear and full (Vol. vi, 3629-48). The fifty- four selected maxims from the Chinese sages admirably exemplify the character of Chinese teaching. Some other names of note in Chinese literary history are the following: — Sze-ma or Suma Kwang (1009-86), an eminent Chinese statesman and writer, author of a comprehensive history of the period B.C. 300 to A. D. 960 29 513 Wang-Chi-Fou, a Chinese poet of the thirteenth centurj^; the creator of the Chinese opera; one of the greatest Chinese dramatic poets; author of thirteen plays, of which only two survive 29 559 Sze-ma or Sii-nia Ts'ien (B.

It is a capital survey by an American scholar long resi- dent in Japan. CHRONOLOGICAL CONSPECTUS The Literature of India has a book of sixty-three pages in the Library (Vol. xiv, 7905-67), of which thirty-five pages tell the story, for three thousand years, of a literature which is, in some respects, the most remarkable known to the history of the human mind. The examples cover the whole ground of the Veda and Brahmanism; Buddha and Buddhism; Jainism; the great epics- the drama; the lyric poetry; and modern religious poetry. INDIAN LITERATURE 217 The Sacred Books of the East, of which an account is given in the ^Synopses of Noted Books ^ (Vol. xxx, 415-17), includes, in particular, a large representation of the books, commencing with the Vedas, the Brahmanas, and the Upanishads, which are the monument of the intellectual activity and the religious faith of ancient India. To enumerate the books representative, first of the vast Brahmanical development of Vedic lore, and second of the vast outgrowth from the life and teaching of Buddha, would require a very long special list, and explanation of a great number of unfamiliar and strange names. PiLPAY, OR BiDPAi, <^ court-scholar ^^ — in Sanskrit Vidya-pati, " master of sciences ^* — a lucid and scholarly account of whom is given in the Library by Professor Lanman, of Harvard Univer- sity, is an imaginary personage, representative of the fables of India, of which there were two great collections: the *Jataka, ^ stories of Buddhism, five hundred and fifty in number, written in Pali, the language of Buddhism in Ceylon ; and the *• Pan- chatantra * of Brahmanism, written in Sanskrit; these originals, however, not now existing, but the stories, as we know them, having come to us from an Arabic version. Of these very inter- esting stories, known probably in the dim antiquity of India, the Library gives twenty-four examples filling forty-seven pages (Vol. XX, 11437-86). Indian Epigrams, in which Sanskrit literature is very rich, are exemplified in ^* songs and lyrics'* (Vol. xxviii, 16989-95). Names of particular note for Indian literature later than the several developments from the Vedic books are as follows: — Panini, a celebrated Indian philologist of the fourth century B. C, author of a philological work consisting of eight books of San- skrit grammatical rules 29 415 Valmlki, the reputed author of the one of the most celebrated Indian epics, dating in its present form from the last century B.

D. 500 to A. D. 700, is closely connected in history with the appearance and phenomenal crea- tive work of Mohammed, an untaught man, who, able neither to write nor to read, yet produced, by inspirational speaking, a body of prose scriptures, the chapters of the Koran, which at once dominated Arabic literary development. A general account of 220 ARABIC LITERATURE the Arabic poets in the Library, with twenty-four examples, rep- resenting twenty-one poets, makes a rich book of forty pages (Vol. ii, 665-704). The Koran (Vol. xv, 8707-24), the latest in time of the Sacred Books of the East, and the Bii)le of Mohammedanism, is the subject of a special story in the Library, with a choice selec- tion of examples, one of which is five pages in length.

W. Draper, 9: 4866. EXPLANATION Jn executing this section of the Index-Guide the general idea is to give easy access to the various lines of interest which are represented in the Librar}'. To do this it is necessar5% first, to select those items which are speciallj' representative of the chief lines of interest, and then to bring them into groups, such as will place each particular interest in the best light. In the case of topics not calling for a very large number of references, not much more is required than to give the items in chronological order. But in the case of topics calling for a large number of references it is necessary to arrange a number of groups of items, in each of which some one line of interest, such as discovery, history-, poetry, novels, etc., will be represented. It is manifestly impossible, in the case of some items, to exactly place them as belonging under one particular line, and one only. The only practicable thing is to group the various items according to their chief interest, so that a person looking for some item of discovery, for example, will find it grouped with the other items of discovery; or if a person \vishes to look along the line of the poets of a country, it may be done by a simple survey of a group, in which all the important poets appear. The reader will find Africa and America, which fall into the first and sec- ond places in the alphabetical line of « parts of the world and nations of cul- ture calling for particular note.» representative respectively of the two classes of sections alluded to above; and under America may be noted the general method of grouping, which has been spoken of. For the separation of groups, not very exactly, but distinctly enough to guide the eye, blank spaces of one or two lines have been used. For reference to any author, with particular reference to the line of inter- est represented by such author, it is only necessar>^ to look first for his nation- ality and chronological date. Reference to the name of the author in volume 29, in which the names of authors appear in alphabetical order, will give both nationality and date. It will then be easy to refer to the proper national con- spectus and to look along to the date of the author and the description, indicat- ing under what group, or line of interest, the name should appear. Reference to the proper national section and group will then be easy. It is not, however, expected that such an inquiry for an author's position will be needed. In most cases an author will be known, in respect, at least, of nationality, and of gen- eral character as novelist, poet, orator, etc. ; and the reader can turn directly to the group to which the author belongs. In a scheme of sections and groups representing so many lines of interest, it is impossible to have any particular name appear in all the places where it might be looked for. But readers will, without difficulty, understand that a name not found under, for example, Austria, may be found under Vienna; or that certain French names may appear under Paris rather than under France. It is not the purpose of the scheme to give ever>'thing that could be given under any particular head, but to make as good representative selections as possible under each head.

I Parts of the World and Nations of Culture, calling for particular note, in connection with the books through which they are known. AFRICA Africa, the second largest of the continents (11,500,000 square miles), has within a short time only had any other interest, out- side of Eg-ypt, than that of the dark land from which negroes were supplied for human slavery in various parts of the world. The extinction of the trade in negroes, initiated by Great Britain, and the subsequent overthrow of slavery, first under British auspices, and then through the issues of the Civil War in the United States, were accompanied or followed by humanitarian efforts in Africa itself to stop the slave-hunting expeditions of Arab and other barbarian Orientals; and with these efforts schemes of extensive exploration were carried out, at once in the interest of humanity and of science. Exploration led to occupation, real or nominal, by various European powers, tmtil the whole continent became fairly known, intelligently mapped, and, to a large extent, occupied or held with reference to colonization and civilization. English culture, which had planted long since, along with Dutch, on the southern extremity of the continent, has recently entered through Egypt, one of the most ancient homes 2 28 OUTLINE SURVEY OP THE PRINCIPAL of human culture, to rescue that land of marvelous ruins from the influences of barbarism, and to carry a highway of enlight- ened occupation from the mouth of the Nile to the Cape of Good Hope. The story of Africa is thus already one of the most in- teresting to which the cultivated mind can give attention. The books which contain that story are of rare interest.

It occupies about 150 degrees of longi- tude and 135 degrees of latitude, and counts a population of about 125,000,000. In the history of its discovery it is important to note three distinct chapters. First, Columbus whose one thought was to find, and to prove to Europe that he had found, what he called " the Isles of India beyond the Ganges, '^ discov- ered island regions only, and put upon them the false name of "West Indies. '^ He did not see any continental land until Au- gust, 1498, and did not, either then or at any later time, con- sider that he had discovered a new continent. Second, John Cabot had, about July 4 (June 24, old style), 1497, and on a second voyage later, very fully discovered what we know as North America, and this fact eventually determined the English destiny of North America. Third, other navigators whose interest was not biased by anxiety about India and its islands, independently discovered and explored an immense extent of the coast of the great South Continent, and from these discoveries arose the idea that a New World had been found. To this New World of con- tinental land, with no reference to the islands to which the interest of Columbus was confined, the name of America was given, at the suggestion of a geographer, made in consequence of four letters of Americus Vespucius in which the discoveries were reported. The name w-as extended at a later date to the North- ern Continent, and at a still later date was made to include Columbus's West Indies. Africa aad-.A merica_ _came-4ato historical interest together, in this way : The Portuguese had carried on for two generations before Columbus persistent explorations down the west coast of Africa to find a sea-way to India, and in July, 1497, to ]\Iay 20, 1498, their great navigator Da Gama succeeded in sailing round the southern cape of Africa and across the Indian Ocean to India. The next year after his return, Cabral, sailing with a fleet from India for Portugal, was driven by storms over to what is now Brazil, and May i, 1500, established a claim of Portugal to all that vast region. This w-as a discovery which would have 230 OUTLINE SURVEY OF THE PRINCIPAL been made precisely the same if Columbus had never sailed, and it was in consequence of this that the continental regions were first known to Europe through the report of Vespucius, and the name America given to them. By these discoveries, England, Portugal, and Spain ultimately became rivals for domination in the New World. England defeated, in a great historic struggle, the attempt of France to secure a large share of North America, and the United States arose as England's daughter. In number of square miles, British power has a breadth of area and control nearly equal to that of the United States (3,495,598 square miles British to 3,602,990 United States) ; but in weight of population and developments of every kind, the United States so far exceeds not only British America but all Central and South America as to commonly obtain for itself alone the designation, America. But to the student of history English culture on British ground has no separation from culture in tne United States; and, if we take note of the prospects of the future, every part of the great southern half of the double continent, not to mention the islands notably connected with the discovery of the New World, has already begun to contribute, and will in the not distant future contribute largely, to literature of importance. Canada and the United States represent the extensi on of En glish literature; and similarly the states of Central America, and those of South America, represent extension of the literatures of either Spain or Portugal.

The small states of Cen- tral America may be taken with the West Indies, either as an ap- pendix to the North Continent, or as a mid region between the two continents.

Political development has already given a United States of Central America under circumstances which promise stability and progress in culture not heretofore known; while the comprehensive change of the situation in the West Indies, through the final extinction of Spanish trans- Atlantic occupation and power, more than suggests the possibility of large development of Central American culture.

From 633 A. D. began the efforts of the Moslem Arabs to convert nations to faith by the sword. Bursting into Syria the next year they defeated the armies of Rome in bloody battles; a year later overwhelmed Damascus with relentless massacre; beat off the utmost efforts of the great Roman Emperor Heraclius to stay their resistless fury; and in 637 followed the capture of Antioch by the occupation of Jerusalem, and the erection of a great mosque on the site of the temple of Solomon. They next turned again against the armies of Rome; swept the imperial power back to the eastern limit of Asia Minor; captured Babylon on the Euphrates (640) and Memphis on the Nile; and in 642-43 the world-capital Alexandria was twice taken, with destruction of its walls and massacre of its people in the final capture. In the best days of territorial expansion Arabian rule extended from India to the Atlantic in the north of Africa, and into Spain for more than 500 years (A. D. 711-1232). Arabia itself declined from A. D. 750, while the power which went in its name had its seat at Bagdad in Persia, and Spain witnessed some of its most brilliant developments. The philosophy and science which are credited to the Arabian name were hardly at all representative of Arabia, except as Moslem Princes, ruling at Bagdad in Persia, or at Cordova in Spain, were individually liberal, and gave their patronage to brilliant representatives of philosophy and science, who were either Persians or Jews, figuring as nominally Arabian. From the beginning of the 9th century to the end of the 12th, the thought and science of Aristotle, unknown in the Europe of the Dark Ages, were brilliantly propagated under these Arabian auspices. The medical teachings also of Hippocrates and Galen were transmitted by Arabian students of Galen, and in their ^Almagest ' was preserved and transmitted the astronomy of Ptolemy. Under Al-Mansur Greek knowledge began to modify Moslem culture at Bagdad, and under Al-Mamun (813-33) Aris- totle was first translated into Arabic, and a work done not unlike TOPICS AND CHIEF LINES OF INTEREST 243 that of Charlemagne in founding schools for Germany. Al-Kendi undertook a great encyclopaedic exposition of sciv^nce and philoso- phy. At Basra, the native town of Al-Kendi, a Brotherhood carried out a great scheme for combining philosophy and science with religious idealism. Al-Farabi employed a vast erudition in an exposition of Aristotle on which Avicenna, or Ibn-Sina (980- 1037), the most illustrious of these Arabian teachers, built a sys- tem of logic and metaphysics. Avicenna was still more famous for his transmission of medical teaching. Algazel closed this Arabian development in the East, and in fact himself contributed to its suppression by a great work called < The Destruction of the Philosophers. * The Arabic development in Spain began imder Al-Hakem II. (961-76), and became especially brilliant in a brief series of illus- trious men from about the close of the nth century,— Avice- bron, most of whose works were written between 1045 and 1070; Avempace, whose short career closed in 11 38; Abubacer, or Ibn- Tofail, who died in 1185; and Averroes (1126-98), the last and most famous of this school of thinkers. Mohammedanism has made Arabia for many centuries, and makes it to-day, an abso- lute reflection of the Semitic spirit, permitting the summary killing of every person not of the true faith.

The Turk commander of an invading horde, Togrul Beg, attacked it after his conquest of Bagdad (in 1055), and at his death (1063), his nephew and successor, Alp Arslan, captured Ani, the Armenian capital, and reduced the country to complete subjection. The larger part in the west is still under the rule of Turkey, a considerable northern part under that of Russia, and a smaller part in the southeast under Persia. The country is one TOPICS AND CHIEF LINES OF INTEREST 2415 of great natural fertility but terribly depressed by the curse of dominant Mohammedanism. Armenian Christianity dates from the consecration, in A. D. 302, of Gregory as bishop of Armenia. Its translation of the Bible was made in A. D. 410. From 491 dates its separation from the orthodox Greek Church, and its more than fourteen centuries of independent maintenance, in spite of the political extinction which dates from 1604. The physical conditions of what was once Armenia, the possibilities of its pop- ulation, and the prospects of its political and religious culture, give it great importance for the future of the whole of Western Asia. Emine's monumental < History of Armenia, > known in French transla- tion 29 169 Bryce's < Transcaucasia and Ararat > 5 2643 ASIA Asia, extending from Constantinople across 150 degrees of longitude to Behring Straits in the extreme northeast, and over the same distance to New Zealand in the southeast, forms an al- most exact equilateral triangle, which may be recognized as geo- logically one. The extreme southeast portion of this immense region of the earth's surface is commonly marked off as Austral- asia, with a line of distinction between the East India Islands and the continental island of Australia. A suggestion for this distinction is found in the fact that on either side of the deep water channel known as the Straits of Macassar the animal and plant life are essentially different. Leaving, therefore, Austral- asia out of view, Asia, as commonly understood, embraces within its vast limits (17,530,686 square miles) all the lands of ancient culture except Egypt, Greece, and Rome. Yet the only excep- tions which it presents to conditions not much above barbarism are those of the English occupation of India, Japan's vigorous initiation of a new era, and the survival of Christian culture in Armenia. In the great story of human progress the traditions of India, Babylonia, and Palestine, and to a less extent those of Persia and Arabia, are of very great significance. A large part of modern learning in letters is concerned with intellectual de- velopments, in Babylonia and India especially, not to speak of 246 OUTLINE SURVEY OP THE PRINCIPAL those of China and Persia, which make even Hebrew culture young, and which, along with Egypt, near to Asia in Africa, supplied antiquity in culture to Greece and Rome, and even to Jerusalem, and now form to the modern world the profoundly curious and significant frontispiece to human history. The stud- ies which fall within the limits of Asia are among the most in- teresting open to the scholar, and the pictures which learning has already begun to offer to the general reader are among the most fascinating known to popular literature.

The Austrian Emperor bears the threefold title Emperor of Austria, King of Bohemia, and King of Hungary. The Empire thus con- stituted lies in the heart of Europe, with an area of 240,942 square miles, and a population of 41,231,342. Bohemia is the large northwestern province of the Empire, and Moravia lies directly east of it. South of these lie Upper Austria and Lower Austria, so distinguished from their position on the Danube, which flows through them from southeast Germany into Hungary. Vienna, the Austrian capital, is on the Danube, not far from the Hungarian border. The fourteen provinces of Austria proper TOPICS AND CHIEF LINES OK INTEREST 247 embrace 115,903 square miles. Hungary, the great central region of the Empire (including Transylvania. Croatia, and Slavonia), counts 125,039 square miles. The languages spoken in Austria- Hungary are as follows: German by 10,568,757; Bohemian, Mora- vian, and Slovak by 7,383,140; Polish by 3,719,232; Ruthenian by 3,488,613; Slovene by 1,271,351; Servian and Croatian by 3,249,- 186; Roumanian by 2,801,015; Magyar by 7,434,869; Italian by over half a million; and the language of the gipsies by more than eighty thousand. The great lines of culture, as it broadens down to the people, are thus Magyar and Bohemian not less than German. Vienna is the German seat of culture; Buda-Pesth, two cities on opposite banks of the Danube united as one, the Magyar or Hungarian; and Prague, the Bohemian or Czech. Prague has the oldest university in Central Europe, and both Bohemian and Magyar are traditions of great significance. Cracow, in the northeast province of Galicia, is the old capital of Poland.

Assyria, which takes the first place in classical ac- counts, to the exclusion of Babylonia, owing to its energy in war and conquest at a comparatively late time, was in fact the younger and greatly inferior country, chiefly devoted to war in the worst Semitic spirit of religious massacre of enemies, and with a cul- ture exclusively borrowed from the older mother country, Baby- lonia. Its earliest rise was in the sixteenth century B. C. ; in the fourteenth century it began to assert a despotism over Babylonia, and at length made the less warlike mother country completely dependent; but with the end of the seventh century B. C. it suffered an extinction hardly paralleled in history, leaving Baby- lon under Nebuchadnezzar to become, for a short period, the mis- tress of the then known world. What Nineveh knew of culture had reached a climax under the famous Sardanapalus, or Assur-bani-pal, in his collection of the greatest library that had ever existed, but a library of books from Babylonia, both in their original languages and in transla- tions, together with dictionaries and grammars in aid of the use of these books. To a very large extent these books had been produced in an older language of Babylonia, known as Accadian, and the translations were into Semitic, the language of Arabia, of the Hebrews, and of Assyria. At a very early period Semitic invasion had introduced Semitic speech into Babylonia, as the language of a ruling class, and Assyria, when it arose, was wholly Semitic. This Semitic invasion of Babylonia may have taken place as early as fifteen or sixteen centuries before Abraham's time, but it gave in Babylonia only a ruling class. The early Babylonians were two kindred peoples known as Sumerian and Accadian, the former settled more in the northwest, and the latter in the southeast. The former may have been the older settlers, but it was from the latter that the earliest Babylonian culture came, especially the very early knowledge of astronomy which they possessed. At a most remote past, at least 6000 B. C, 250 OUTLINE SURVEY OF THE PRINCIPAL there began a succession of notable cities, Eridu, called the ** Holy City*^; Erech, or Uru-ki, a name meaning «city of the land** or capital ; Ur, meaning the <' city, ** and a later capital ; Nippur, a more northern city, recent exploration of the ruins of which have carried Babylonian historical dates to perhaps 7000 B. C. ; Larsa, the old centre of Sun-worship, as Ur was of Moon-worship; and Sippara, the northern city of Sun-worship. Babylon rose to supremacy later than the cities which we have named, becoming the capital of a consolidated empire about 2150 B. C. At this time books, libraries, and schools were a common privilege of the people. The production of these books dated from schools of temple writers at Eridu, Erech, and Ur, at dif- ferent periods in a past measuring perhaps not less than 3,000 years. Written upon tablets of clay, and baked, the Babylonian books, of the libraries of cities whose ruins have been explored, are found in great numbers, and permit us to see what was con- sidered the world's best literature more than 2000 years B. C. The most recent discoveries show how the power and culture of Babylonia had been extended to the Mediterranean, and had made all that region a land of books, schools, libraries, and cul- ture long before its invasion by the Semitic Hebrews, whose con- quest is described by themselves as one of ravage and slaughter, in the most excessive Semitic spirit. One of the most remark- able episodes in the history of Egypt is that of Babylonian in- fluence there effecting, for a short time, an extreme change in the monarchy and the official religion, through the efforts of a king whose mother was a daughter of the King of Babylon.

The kingdom has four great universities and two cities of special historic interest, Antwerp and Brussels.

The Bohemian language belongs to a group of languages known as Slavonic, which includes also Polish, Russian, Bulgarian, and 2^2 OUTLINE SURVEY OF THE PRINCIPAL Servian. The name Czech is that under which the dominant tribe of Slavs was known before it came into Bohemia, and by subjecting the other Slavic tribes in Bohemia made its name the equivalent of Bohemian. The Czechs are found also in Moravia, and in other parts of Austria. There are thus Czechs which are not Bohemians, and many Bohemians, of German or other descent, which are not Czechs. Bohemia developed a literature as early as the fourteenth century, in which the University of Prague was founded. Thomas of Stitny (1373-1400), wrote in Bohemian, for the instruction of the common people, works of very superior lit- erary quality; and John Huss followed as a preacher and w^riter, in the years 1402-15. Peter Chelczicky was a great religious w^riter and thinker after Huss (1430-56). As early as the end of the thirteenth century, the greater part of the Bible had been trans- lated, and this was made complete in the fourteenth century. In the sixteenth Jan Blahoslaw% who had translated the New Testa- ment, brought about a new translation of the whole Bible, printed in 6 volumes in 1579-93. This w^as the golden age of Bohemian culture, w^hen education was more advanced than in any other country in Europe. A period of decline follow^ed down to the last quarter of the eighteenth century, when an unexampled resus- citation began through the comprehensively creative work of Dobrovsky. It is only since 1848 that a vigorous national move- ment has created political conditions favorable to free intellectual development, through w^hich Bohemia may take its place as one of the fields of European culture.

Columbus had himself seen the mouth of the great river Orinoco about August i, 1498, and had concluded against the possibility of a continental land as the source of the vast flood of fresh water. He decided instead that it was a river flow- ing down from Paradise, situated, as he conceived, on a vast summit elevation of the globe to which no human voyager could ascend. Had he explored down the coast from the Orinoco and pushed discovery, as others did after him, he would have carried off the honor in history of originally observing and reporting the existence of, not merely islands, falsely imagined to be those of India, but a new continental world. Pingon came upon the coast at Cape St. Augustine, about seven degrees below the equator, and followed the coast north, and thence northwest past the mouths of the Amazon to the mouth of the Orinoco. The same year the Portuguese navigator, Cabral, setting out from Portugal for India, and being driven by storms across the Atlantic, reached the coast which Pingon had seen, at a point about sixteen degrees below the equator, and made a claim for Portugal on Easter Day, about May i, 1500, which resulted in Portuguese possession of the vast region, the Atlantic coast line of which is nearly 4,000 miles in extent. Portugal sent expeditions, in 1501 and 1503, which extensively explored the coast and brought back abundance of red dyewoods, such as had been known in commerce for more than 300 years as a product of the East Indies, and called in Spanish brasil. 254 OUTLINE SURVEY OP THE PRINCIPAL This brasil dyewood suggested the name **Brazil. " Americus Ves- pucius, who had visited the coast of Venezuela in 1499, was in the exploring expeditions just named. His report of discovery and exploration of continental lands first suggested that a New World had been found, and was the occasion of a geographer's giving it the name of America. Portugal undertook comprehensive occupation and colonization in 1530, and by the middle of the century the whole line of the coast from La Plata to the Amazon showed settlements already attempted. This was genuine colonization, on an agricultural basis, while Spanish occupation, on the other side of the conti- nent, was purely that of military conquest and plunder. It was not until 1693 that the discovery of gold played a part in Brazil- ian progress; and this was after the cultivation of cotton, tobacco, and sugar-cane had attained great development. The first gov- ernor-general, who arrived in 1549, and made Bahia the Brazilian capital, was accompanied by Jesuits, who undertook the promotion of culture among both colonists and natives. Nobrega, the chief of the Jesuit mission, established a college in 1553, which became broadly effective in the diffusion of knowledge and civilization. There is thus a thread of culture in Brazilian history, from the middle of the first American century to the period of large expansion, which began in 1808, when the French Revolution drove the royal family of Portugal to take refuge in Brazil, and introduced an era of notable progress, giving promise of large advance in culture.

From A. D. 864 Christianity was adopted, with dependence on Constantinople. A great height of power and of civilization was attained in the ninth and tentii centuries, and a considerable literature existed, consisting chiefly of translations from the Greek, and theological works. After many vicissitudes of development and power the country was completely subjected by the Ottoman Turks in 1389-93, and both nationality and culture almost obliterated. A national and liter- ary revival began in 1762. In 1872 the Bulgarian Church made itself independent of the Greek patriarch. The present Bulgaria was created in 1878 by the treaty of Berlin, and enlarged in 1885 by the addition of Eastern Roumelia, Bulgarian literature since 1762 has been chiefly popular, political, and educational. With new national life, inspired by freedom, fresh literary development is already manifest.

The orig-inal settlement was French, and the popula- tion, language, and culture, ever since the transfer of the country to Great Britain, have been predominantly French. The cities notably connected with the culture of Canada are Quebec and Montreal; the former founded by Cham plain in July, 1608, and until 1759 the centre of French trade and civilization, and of Roman Catholic missions in North America; and the latter dat- ing from May 18, 1642, when Maisonneuve, the military leader of a trading corporation, landed on the spot. Montreal was the scene, in 1776-77, of occupation by American Revolutionary troops, under a scheme of the American leaders to secure the participation of Canada in the war of Independence. While English is generally spoken, French is still the leading language, and Canadian culture cannot fail to be broadly representative of both French and English traditions and characteristics.

C. Paper was made and employed for writing in China in the first century of our era, and a Chinese blacksmith invented movable types, as a substitute for wooden blocks, about 1000 A. D. The common literature of China is of immense extent and variety. Its classics are the books of Confucius and two or three other practical philosophers, all of whose teachings bear upon the con- duct of life. These books are regarded, and are dealt with in commentaries, and other studies of scholars, as the Chinese Bible, or Sacred Scriptures of inspired and final authority. Immense as the number of Chinese books is, it would be much greater but for the destruction of important imperial libraries within a hun- dred years of the death of Confucius (in 479 B. C). Both in respect of culture and of literary interest, Chinese study, in the hands of the educated class, has an elevation and value far beyond anything suggested by common foreign knowledge of the people of China. The problem which Chinese culture at its best sug- gests is that of ethical culture without spiritism. The mass of the common people, however, find an extreme of superstitious spiritism in a very degraded form of Buddhism, and in an equally degraded type of Taoism, which was originally an elevated ethi- cal faith like that of Confucius. Confucius: Writings left by him at his death, 478 B. C, were mostlj^ a compilation of the best literature, historical, practical, and poet- ical, of China.

Historically, also, Sweden has be- longed to Denmark from 1397 to 1524, and Norway until 1813; and the Danish language has remained that of the educated class in Norway. Even the loss of the crown province of Sleswick, with Holstein and Lauenborg, has not prevented Danish progress and distinction in Europe. Norwegian genius, notably in Hol- berg, greatly contributed to Danish advance, and through the connections by marriage of the Royal Family in England, Russia, and elsewhere, the Danish name has been made most conspicuous.

C. through 4,000 years. The general story for these forty centuries is fairly complete and correct, and exceedingly rich in interest, yet of almost no import- ance in respect of contributions to definitive and mature culture. As in many other cases, the fame of Egypt, to the Greeks for example, was due chiefly to things of curious interest, and not to any important intellectual product.

The Franks of early European history, bearing a name which means Freemen, were a German race of bold and independent spirit, who came into contact with the Romans by settling in the lands bordering on the Rhine, about the middle of the third century. They came into relations both of service and of conflict with the Romans, and gradually extended their possessions bej'ond the Rhine into Gaul, where they became a people strong enough not only to establish a kingdom of their own, but to hold back other barbarians seeking to advance from the wilderness regions of Central Europe. In A. D. 451 they united with the Romans in repelling the invasion of Attila. One of their tribes at this time, the Salian, had a king named Childeric, and at his death, in 481, his son Chlodwig (a name modernized as Clovis, Ludwig, or Louis) began a reign of conquest which ended in the union of all the tribes in one kingdom, including nearly all of the south of France, as well as the north. This king married a princess of Burgundy, of orthodox Catholic faith, and within a short time 272 OUTLINE SURVEY OF THE PRINXIPAL adopted her religion as his own, with special reference to close relations with the bishop of Rome. Even fifty years before the conquest by Caesar, the cities and Celtic people of the southern part of Gaul had so completely adopted the manners and language of the Greeks and Romans as to entirely lose their original character. Roman culture was still more thoroughly impressed after the conquest, and by the second century all that part of Gaul had become celebrated for its Graeco-Roman schools and the excellence of its literary culture, to w^hich Celtic genius lent a distinction which brought pupils in culture, eloquence especially, from even distant parts of the em- pire. Laws, religion, civilization, language, and literature, were Roman; and before the end of the fourth century Latin, especially in the towns, was commonly spoken, with this difference, that the educated class used a purely literary Latin, while the soldiers, peasants, and common people, used a rough, imgrammatical, de- generate Latin, which tended to prevail over the other, in conse- quence of the extent to which it was necessary for the clergy to use it in addressing congregations of the people. When the Franks had extended their settlements into the South, and became its ruling race, there was a distinction between the Franks of the South and those of the North, in consequence of the fact that the Southern Franks used the Latin of the common people, while the Northern continued to use their own German tongues more or less modified by contact with Latin. From this it resulted that representatives of culture, such as the clergy, would speak three languages, Latin, Roman or vulgar Latin, and German. As the first of these came to be less and less used, the vulgar tongues became of necessity the languages of such culture as ex- isted. The French language, as finally settled, was a fusion of the two distinct languages formed in the two parts of the Frank- ish regions separated by the river Loire, the South and the North. The death, in 511, of Chlodwig, v/ho had tmited the Frankish lands, was followed by a period of divisions, until the first Pippin, mayor of the palace to a nominal king, and as such, ruler of the German Franks in the North, became, by conquest, ruler in the South also. In the last years of this Pippin, and the first of his son, Charles Martel, the Arabs had come from Africa into Spain (A. D. 711), and in nine years had not only overrun nearly all Spain, but had crossed the Pyrenees and occupied a district of TOPICS AND CHIEF LINES OF INTEREST 273 Southern Gaul. Pippin's son, Charles Martcl, defeated the Arabs in a great battle near Poitiers, in 732, thus preventing any ex- tension of their power. He also promoted very effectively the Christianization of his dominions and close attachment to Rome. His son Pippin, who ruled from 741 to 768, secured the Papal recognition of his kingship over all the Franks, and in return assisted the Pope to maintain political independence of the king of the Lombards. He also effected the expulsion of the Arabs from Prankish territory, and further secured his power in the south of France by putting an end to the local rule under him of the Duke of the great province of Aquitaine. This was the first permanent extension of Prankish rule to the Pyrenees, and when Pippin died, in 768, leaving the two parts of his kingdom to his two sons, the death of one, in 771, gave the whole inherit- ance to the other, who ruled as Charles the Great, until 814. In 780 Charles, with the aid of the Pope, and to promote the plans of the Pope, added the kingdom of the Lombards to his own, destroying what in due course would have been an Italian nation. One of the most notable facts of this early European history is the way in which these Prankish monarchs. Pippin, and his son Charles the Great, effected the overthrow of the Lombard king- dom in Italy, for the benefit of the secular power of the Popes, thereby cutting off the promise of an Italian nation, and raising in its place a papacy of temporal power destined to dominate from Rome for a thousand years. In 798 a revolt in Rome against the Pope brought Charle- magne to his aid, and his Holiness in return crowned the monarch Roman Emperor, on Christmas day A. D. 800. Charles solicited, and finally in 812 secured, recognition of his dignity from the Eastern emperor at Constantinople, and his reign, not only of energetic, sometimes savage, conquest of German tribes, the Saxons especially, but of great care of church interests, as Roman and papal interests, of religious interests, to secure men's living as Christians, of educational interests through schools and literature, and of political order through organized government, was an immensely efficient one. The fact that Latin was for centuries the language of the church, of education and learning, and of such books as were produced, was the result of Charlemagne's care to have good Latin read, written, and spoken, in school and church, instead of the corrupt Latin of the common people. The classical Latin was f3 2 74 OUTLINE SURVEY OF THE PRINCIPAL Studied with great zeal in his schools, and that of the church corrected, while the common spoken Latin was left as a vulgar dialect, and became the beginning of French speech, or of Italian, or of any other vulgar departure from classical Latin. The French language thu^ arose from the Latin in large part, from the German Frankish also to a considerable' extent, and to but a small extent from either the Celtic or the Greek. France to the south of its great dividing river, the Loire, was in speech and culture much in advance of France to the north; and in Provence especially, the district bordering upon the Medi- terranean, the Romance-Provengal, or Province-Roman, displaced the Latin, of which it was the daughter, as early as the tenth century; and in the eleventh and twelfth centuries the Trouba- dour spirit of poetry carried literary production to a full and per- fect growth, when as yet no other scion of Latin culture had developed a cultivated vernacular literature. As Provence lies east of the Rhone next to Savoy, its speech was a connecting link between French and Italian. One of the earliest sequels to the break up of the empire of Charlemagne under his son Ludwig (814-840), and his grandsons, Lothar, Ludwig, Pippin, and Charles, was the beginning of Ger- many under Ludwig, and of France under Charles, in the year 843, while Lothar, with Lotharingia as his kingdom, also figured as Emperor, and as such ruled Italy. The oaths taken by Lud- wig and Charles, for an alliance against Lothar in the spring of 842, are preserved in the two languages of the two peoples, and are among the very earliest specimens of French and German. The history of France and of Germany as separate nations thus begins with 843. The reign of Louis VI. (1108-37) saw the first important development in the direction of a powerful France; that of Louis IX. (1235-70) saw France become, in place of Ger- many, the chief power of Europe, while her literary supremacy had become even more distinct, though in imaginative writing chiefly. It was not until the sixteenth century that French prose broadly occupied the great fields of human culture, and made French literature an adequate expression of the genius of the French race.

one of them, that of the Athens of ^schylus, Pericles, and Plato, and the other that of the England — the Greater England, of Shakespeare and Cromwell and Washington. What Athens was, in the Attic period from ^schylus to Demosthenes, not only stands before and above all the great literatures of the modern world, but it overlooks with commanding light the marvelous heights which speculation reached in India, and looks far down upon the crude developments of Egypt and Babylonia. When Persia, bearing the torch of lofty Zoroastrian theism and ethics, might have car- ried its power and its ideas into Europe, and perhaps into mod- ern history, Athens stood in the way at Marathon and Salamis, and herself gave to mankind a better and a clearer compre- hension of Deity than ever came to any Oriental mind; and a judgment of justice and moral truth and beauty, incomparable for the blending of human exposition with divine revelation. Every line of human progress, of fundamental significance for the welfare of mankind, goes back to a Greek initiation. Epic, lyric, 284 OUTLINE SURVEY OV THE PRINCIPAL and dramatic poetry; history and philosophy; law, divinity, and medicine; art of a power and beauty never equaled; and elo- quence from which the speech of every age has taken example, are authentic and immortal in their Greek examples as hardly any- where else in history. It was a Greek world into which Christ was born, and neglect of, or attention to, Greek ideals, has marked the failure or the success of mankind to comprehend and to give effect to essential Christian truth. Among studies which will last for delight and profit as long as letters last, that of Greek story and thought and character has a foremost place, from which it can never be removed.

Dutch culture of special interest takes its rise in the fifteenth century, with clubs or societies devoted to study and theatrical entertainment, and later devoted to agitation for political freedom. In the most interesting period of Dutch development, that of the first years of the seventeenth century, when the Dutch had made themselves masters of the sea and had hopefully founded a Dutch empire in India, there may be noted two facts of special though contrasted interest, first, the residence, in the Dutch uni- versity city of Leyden, of the company of English exiles, extreme not only Independents, but Liberals in religion, who became the TOPICS AND CHIEF LINES OF INTEREST 287 '■'• Pilgrim Fathers ** of the Mayflower and made the most notable planting of commonwealth and church in America; and second, the terrible outbreak of religious and political antagonism in Cal- vinistic persecution of the Armenian Liberals in religion, and in the judicial murder in 161 8 of Barneveld, the Dutch Washington. A notable glory of Holland is the perfection which printing attained there in the seventeenth century, and the development of the liberty of the press, which resulted not only in Dutch news- papers, but in foreign journals, mostly in French, which carried prohibited news all over the world. It should be noted that Dutch speech and literature in Holland and in Belgium are practically the same, in spite of the fact that Belgium was sepa- rated from Holland in 1830 and has been under influences strongly French.

Its language is that which was spoken, down to the thirteenth century, in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and on the coasts of England, Scotland, and Ireland. It was a sister language to Anglo-Saxon and old German. The present Danish and Swedish sprang from it, the same as Italian and Spanish from Latin. Literary activity began to make Iceland famous early in the 19 290 OUTLINE SURVEY OF THE PRIXCIFAL twelfth century, not only through the sagas or tales, many of them of historical value, and the poetry, but through works in other fields, including many important translations. The code of laws which Iceland as a republic put on record in A. D. 11 18 strik- ingly exemplifies advanced intelligence in commonwealth matters. The Icelandic version of the Old Testament is the oldest transla- tion of the Bible in any living language. Norwegians colonized Iceland in the latter part of the ninth century, and had, by the middle of the next century, populated the whole island and created an aristocratic republic. It was in 1262-64 that the Icelanders admitted dependence on Norway. In 1388, when Norway was united with Denmark, Iceland was in- cluded, and the connection with Denmark has continued until the present time. As a dependency Iceland has Home Rule under the King of Denmark. Christianity was received by the Icelanders in the year 1000. In the twelfth and thirteenth centuries no nation in Europe equaled Iceland in the production of vernac- ular literature, and to this day literary interest and attention to culture are notably characteristic of the entire people.

In one respect it has no parallel in the whole history of human effort to acquire knowledge, to develope thought, and to perfect the conduct of life. Its astonishing achievements, esti- mated as wisdom, as principle, as faith, as science, may not com- pare w^ith those which are the much later glory of the nations of Europe; but none the less they stand alone, incomprehensible almost to our experience, in that they were executed on an im- mense scale for many ages, to the production of stage on stage of an enormous literature, without the use of waiting, wdthout any indication of knowledge of an alphabet even, but solely through what seem to us limitless powers of memory. A long series of poets produced simple hymns, w^hich became the foun- dation of the Vedas as Scriptures of faith and worship. The first Veda, a large collection of such hymns, was made over into a second and third, w^hich were service books, one for a peculiar sacrament, and the other for ordinary sacrifices. A fourth and last Veda, was another literary collection, embodying poetry and prose, thought and song, of later date. But these four Vedas were only a beginning. There were produced elaborate com- mentaries on them, called Brahmanas, some thirteen in number, and one of them large enough to fill five large volumes in Eng- lish translation. Then there followed, to the number of 150 or 200, philosophical treatises, called Upanishads, w^orks of profound thought, which the latest of great German philosophers, Schopen- hauer, pronounced a study more beneficial and elevating than any other known to him. These three stages of literature were all regarded as Veda or Knowledge, and conceived of as Svuti, 292 OUTLINE SURVEY OF THE PRINCIPAL ** heard, '* — spoken b}' a divine voice. Not only was this great mass of literature produced without writing, and carried from generation to generation- by exercise of memory only, but it was forbidden to write it. And when we go on to a second class of productions we find an immense additional mass of literature created and handed down on the same method of dependence on memory only, without any use of writing. More than a thou- sand years, perhaps nearer two thousand, from the first making of the hymns of the Veda, had passed, when Panini, the greatest of Sanskrit grammarians, produced, in the fourth century B. C, a Sanskrit Grammar, extending to 3996 sections, in which no in- dication is given of the use of writing, or even of the existence of an alphabet. A large section of the later literature of India is that of the works devoted to the history and exposition of law through a period of some centuries. But especially notable as a product of India in its later period, is the person, the career, the teaching, and the literature connected with the name of Buddha. Not only was Buddhism a second great religion of India, contrasting in most remarkable respects with that based on the Vedas, but the character of Buddha, his long life of missionary exertion, and the immense spread of his system in history, constitute a story of culture of most extraordinary interest. Although a be- ginning only has been made of presenting the Buddhist section of the literature of India to modern readers, the Sacred Books of the World, published under the editorship of Prof. Max Miiller, include eight important Buddhist works in twelve volumes. India in its general history has a story of most pathetic inter- est, not only from the characteristics of a race intensely sensitive to impression, and easily subjected under systems of priestcraft and superstition, but from the extent to which, through hundreds of years, the worst cruelties of either intestine war or savage in- vasion made the story of the people, numbering hundreds of millions, one of frightful suffering. The immense Vedic literature of India down to the time of Buddha transmitted without writing, by memory only, 1 4 7905-07 ; the first or Rig- Veda sacred hymns, 791 1; three other Vedic books, the Sama-Veda, the Yajur-Veda, and the Atharva-Veda, 7912, 7913 (also 7915, 7916); the Brahmanas with philosophical Upani- shads appended, designed as commentaries, first for priests and next for thinkers, 7913-16; rise of Buddhism in the sixth TOPICS AND CHIEF LINES OF INTEREST 293 century B.

The more certain story of culture in Ireland is that of the Christianization effected by St. Patrick early in the fifth century. Born in Scotland, carried to Ireland in early youth as a slave, and escaping thence to Rome, Patrick had shown great genius in the service of the church, and his mission to Ireland was not only marvelously effective in the conversion of the Irish people, but it made Ireland a conspicuous and pow- erful agency, in England and all over Europe, for the planting of Christian faith and life. About a hundred years from the death of Patrick St. Columba with twelve companions began the work in Scotland ; it was carried thence to Lindisfarne on the east coast of England with very large English results. From about 590 other similar groups of Irish missionaries established monas- teries in the most important parts of Europe, from the schools of which education was spread and about which towns sprang up, which became centres of civilization and culture. Roman methods, represented by missionaries directly subject to the Pope, ultimately took possession, both in England and on the continent, of the results of Irish missionary labor, but it is to Ireland and not to Rome, as also to England more than to Rome, that the wide plant- ing of culture in Europe must be credited. The Irish Gaelic, native to Ireland, is a branch of Celtic, with a rich literature preserved in inscriptions and manuscripts, the latter of which date from about 700 A. D. Intense antagonism of Celtic custom and faith to Anglo-Norman from A. D. 1172 changed the attitude of Irish culture from that of nationalism to that of identification of nationalism with Romanism. The same I TOPICS AND CHIEF LINES OF INTEREST 295 antagonism bred endless trouble between Ireland and England, eventuating in the Irish struggle of our own time to secure Home Rule. Irish-English contributions to EngHsh literature have con- stituted no small part of its wealth, and in English genius a Celtic element has notably contributed to its highest achieve- ments.

D.), the latest writer of good Latin, the spoken Latin of the people lost all connection with classical Latin, from the people's complete loss of interest in books, or culture of any kind; and while Anglo-Saxons, French, and Germans had vernacular literary developments, there was no hint of anything of the kind in Italian much before the thirteenth century; making it the latest of all the chief European literatures to show notable maturity. This was due to the failure of Italy to develop nationality after the removal of the seat of Roman Empire to Constantinople. The Lombards came into Italy in 568, and within a few years became masters of all the northern part. They held on for two hundred years, against two great obstacles to making a united Italy. In the first place the Empire of the Caesars, which Constantine in 328 had chosen a new seat for in Constantinople, had secured Ravenna by conquest in the time of Justinian, and thereby had a considerable hold upon the north of Italy. But far more im- portant than this was the rise at Rome of recognition of its Bishop as a temporal ruler not less than a bishop. By calling in non- Italian aid, notably that of the two great Prankish monarchs. Pip- pin and his son Charlemagne, the Pope and German Emperor overthrew the Lombard kingdom (774), gave the Papacy political sovereignty in Rome, and subjected Italy to German rule, under eight sovereigns of the house of Charlemagne^ to 888. The age which followed, 888-961, saw ten kings nominally Italian, but saw also Saracen invasion, Greek interference, degradation of the Pa- pacy, and devastation of the fairest Italian provinces by savage Magyars. Then came Otto the Great of Germany to possess himself of all power at Rome and in Italy, and make the ** Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation *^ a final obstacle to development of Italian nationality, except as Rome, Naples, Florence, Venice, and Milan became five Italian powers, and rendered still further hopeless the making of a united Italy. Yet was Italian the first after Provencal to develop the form and finish of literature, in a school of vernacular poetry which flourished under Frederick II., at Palermo, in Sicily, about 1220 A. D. This poetry was Provencal in substance and style, but the language was Italian, and there TOPICS AND CHIEP^ LINES OF INTEREST 297 resulted throughout Italy remarkable poetic developments showing enormous progress within three-quarters of a century, and pre- paring the way for Dante. Not only did Dante carry literary creation to the sublimest height of poetry, but Italian prose of any importance began with him. Although, therefore, Italy was in national development the latest of the great historic countries of Europe to organize effective national unity, it was none the less Europe's earliest teacher. It, moreover, stood in the front of Europe in its conduct of commerce, through Venice and Genoa, and in its initiation in the fifteenth century of the revival of learning. Its great tradition of classical Rome, followed by that of the Papacy, broadly contributed to the maintenance of its great lead in the history of modern culture.

Denmark had become a united kingdom in the ninth and tenth centuries; Sweden also within the same period, and Norway about the year 1000. From the year 1380 Denmark and Norway were united; and in 1397 Denmark, Norway, and Sweden became one, with Denmark the leading- power. Sweden gained her independence under Gustavus Vasa, in 1523; Norway finally separated from Denmark, in 18 14, and became xmited with Sweden. The ancient culture of Norway is represented in the Eddas, in close relation with Icelandic liter- ature. The modern literature of Norway dates from early in the present century, when Wergeland ardently espoused the cause of the free peasant proprietors and gave a profound impulse to cul- ture truely national.

The land was obtained as a possession by the ancestors of the Jews through conquest by invading tribes, whose method was that of massacre of the popu- lations where they wished to settle. Many hundred years had passed when the last extremity of war waged against them by the king of Babylon carried the people of Jerusalem and the country about it into exile at Babylon, leaving their land and their temple-city desolate. Within about two generations a con- siderable number of the Babylon colony of Jews obtained permission to return to their own land; and upon this, when still others re- turned, under leaders of great zeal, a restoration of Jerusalem, and of its temple and worship, was undertaken; and in connec- tion therewith writings representing the traditions, history, and priestly customs in use among them, were publicly and solemnly recognized (B. C. 444) not only as of divine authority, but as, in the books of chief importance, the work of Moses, whose date is about a thousand years earlier. A notable consequence of ^^ Mosaic '* canonization of literature, and one which the story of it shows was specially intended, was the distinction made by the Jews be- tween Jews and ^* heathen,*^ similar to that which Mohammedans make between themselves and "infidels. '^ Even Jews who had married non-Jewish wives were compelled to cast off their wives 302 OUTLINE SURVEY OF THE PRINCIPAL and children as heathen. The Greeks and Romans were heathen under this law of Jewish orthodoxy, and it even went so far as to pronounce the common people among themselves accursed be- cause unable to read and thus "not knowing the Law.'* But under Alexander the Great, somewhat more than a hundred years after the Jews began with their Mosaic Scriptures, an extreme toleration of all religions had prevailed, and after another hundred years many Jews had learned to be friendly with Greeks, while others were made by this only the more rigid, and did everything possible to have everybody know that nothing was good that was not Mosaic and Jewish, and that Greeks and Romans in partic- ular were wicked heathen, under a heavy curse. The Greek ruler of that part of the world, Antiochus, was unwise enough to <'om- mand, about 170 B. C, compliance by all Jews with his Greek sacrificial customs; and in the little town of Modin, a grand old man, who was most zealous for Moses, assaulted and killed a Jew who offered sacrifice in the Greek way, and further assaulted and killed the king's commissioner. This started a religious war, led first by the old man, and later by his five sons, who fought out the Jewish contention with wonderful energy and success, and settled the orthodox Jews on the most rigorous view of their Law. One result of this view was the rejection and killing of Christ, who appeared to set aside Mosaic orthodoxy. Another was the production of the Talmud, in two forms, one in Pales- tine, but a more important one in Babylon, where learned Jews lived and taught after the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in A. D. 70. The Talmud was a mass of discussion, judgment, and story, by way of commentary on the Mosaic writings, and the Jewish idea of these writings as of divine authority was extended to the Talmud.

When Darius encountered the Greeks at Marathon, and Xerxes sought to overwhehn them at Salamis, the victory of Persia might have profoundly affected not only the destinies of Zoroastrianism, but the culture of Europe. More than 1 1 00 years after Marathon the Arabs, in 639 A. D., entered upon the complete subjection of Persia to Mohanmiedanism. For two or three centuries Persian culture under Moslem suppression either did not survive at all or was pursued silently in secret. But in the ninth century great scholars, philosophers, men of science, poets, and historians, of Persian race, entered upon a nominally Arabic development of culture, which was Arabic in name only, and which continued vigorous and broadly influential during five centuries. The natural suppression of culture under Mohamme- danism at length put an end to these Persian-Arabic developments. The present Persian dynasty is that of a Kajar Turk, whose career was that of a monster of ruthless savagery, when he came to the throne, and under whose race Persia has no hope but of Moslem suppression of culture.

D. 296 to A. D. 844. It is a mooted question whether they were Celts or not, and whence they came. The Scots were a Celtic race in Ireland, who colonized the western part of Scotland perhaps as early as A. D. 400, and certuries after gave their name to a united king- dom of Picts and Scots. The famous Patrick was a Scot, born in the Scottish colony in Pictland; carried' to Ireland as a slave; and by escape to Rome educated to service of the Church. He went from Rome to Ireland early in the fifth century, and was remarkably successful, not only in converting Ireland to Christ- ianity, but in arousing a missionary spirit in his converts, which caused them to csLVvy their faith over to Britain and to all parts of Europe. One of Patrick's converts was a Prince Fergus, who migrated to Scotland in the last years of the fifth century, and was the first prince of British Scots to leave a record in history. Under his grandson, in 563, Columba came over from Ireland on a mission to the heathen Picts in the north of the island. The southern Picts had been converted a century and a half earlier by Ninian, who had been to Rome, and had there received consecration from the Pope. The work of Columba not only pros- pered, but it supplied missionaries to the English, whose admir- able method made them wonderfully successful. Under Malcolm (1057-93) an English princess was the Scottish queen, and not only English speech and customs were introduced, but many Eng- lish colonists. The half English son of Malcolm, Edgar, and his brothers after him, greatly promoted Scottish progress. The third son especially of Queen Margaret, David, who ruled Scotland ^12 OUTLINE SURVEY OF THE PRINCIPAL from 1 1 24 to II53,^vas to his own land what Alfred had been to England. Not only were the Celtic half barbarous people im- proved by education and church extension, but English, Flemish, and Norman colonies were planted so extensively as to establish the predominance of Teutonic language and blood, which now makes the Scotch more kindred to the English and German peo- ples than to the Irish. By introducing written law also, and a church system in place of the Irish monastic system, David broadly laid the foundations on which Scotland ultimately became one of the foremost nations of culture. The early Scottish language, therefore, as it was used in the fifteenth century, did not differ appreciably from English of the type known as Northern Middle. Of the Scotch of to-day there are reckoned three main dialects, Border Scotch, Central Scotch, and Northeastern Scotch, to which may be added the Insular Scotch of the Orkney and Shetland Isles. In early Scotch writing Chaucer became even more than in England a model and master to the poets; and from Barbour's ^ Bruce* about 1375, and the ^Quair* or *Book* of King James I., 1423, Scotch literature enters distinctly into modern English.

The Servians occupied Servia, with Bosnia and Herzegovinia, about 638 A. D., and within a short time accepted Christianity under teaching from Constantinople. Down to 1356 development pros- pered, but from 1371-89 subjection to the despotic rule of the Sultan lasted down to 17 18, — and further from 1739 to 1804, when the long patriot struggle began, which, by favor of Russian and other help, at last secured independence.

Abraham's " Ur of the Chaldees,'' at the border looking out upon that region, was in the extreme West to the dweller at Eridu, in the southeast of Babylonia; and Palestine, to which Abraham 214 OUTLINE SURVEY OF THE PRINCIPAL journeyed, was the Far West of travel and trade. The cities of Phoenicia, with their shipping reaching out upon the Mediterra- nean, were the Great West of that Oriental world. In the next stage of world development, that of Greece and Rome and Carthage, the Far West moved toward the setting sun to a strange and barbarous land, where the voyager passed through " The Pil- lars of Hercules ** into the wholly unknown Atlantic. Phoenician trade, and to some extent colonization, had alone interfered with the barbarous Celts and Iberians of the nearer coasts of this land, now the south of Spain, during the hundreds of years pre- ceding the wars of Rome against Carthage, which was a younger Ph(x;nicia. After the first Punic war Hamilcar, the father of the celebrated Hannibal, undertook, in 237 B. C, the planting in Spain of a colony, which might serve as a basis of operations against Rome. His successor, Hasdrubal, a son-in-lav^^, founded "New Carthage,^* as the capital of this Far West Phoenicia; and his famous son, Hannibal, began his career, and the Second Punic war, by advancing beyond the Ebro to the conquest of almost all Spain, including a Greek colony of Saguntum, over which Rome had a protectorate. After six years of hard fighting by Rome to turn back Carthaginian conquest, ending in the de- feat and death of the two Scipios commanding against Hannibal, Africanus, the son of one of these, effected the capture of New Carthage, with the result that five years later, A. D. 205, Rome had displaced Carthage as the nominal possessor of Spain. Two centuries were required to make the country thoroughly subject, not only to the power, but to the culture, of Rome ; and for more than 400 years, or from 19 B. C. to 409 A.

Taurus region; in early historical records the land, as to its northern part, of the Hittites, a great and warlike race; as to its middle coast part, of the Phoenicians, a great commercial people; and, as to its southern part, of the Hebrews, after their dispossession of the Canaanite kindred of the Phoenicians; a land, moreover, through which both commerce and conquest made a highway from the southwest to the northeast; Egypt from one direction and Assyria from the other, either passing for trade or meeting in the clash of rival empires; and the greater dominance of Assyria, over the Hebrews especially, causing the name Syria to become that by which the Greeks knew it. Persian dominance succeeded to Assyrian; and Greek came with Alexander the Great and his successors, and lasted until Pompey's conqudst in 65 B. C. gave it to Rome, under whom it advanced to great prosperity, in industry and commerce, wealth and magnificence of its many cities, and wide diffusion of culture. Its capital, Anti- och, was the second city of the world. Under the Greek empire of Constantinople and even under the Arab conquest from 636 A. D., and the Egyptian rule which followed, there was no over- throw of prosperity. Mongol invasion in 1260 wrought great injury, but absolute ruin befell only when the Turks got, in 1 5 16, the possession which they still maintain.

Those of the Turkey of today have largely lost their original race characteristics, and become practically Caucasian through becoming merged with the peoples amongst whom they settled. The Turks now under the rule of the Sultan of Turkey are known as the Osmanlis, descended from a branch whose chief was Osman. There are estimated to be about six millions of them. Of the same general race as the Osmanlis (called also Ottoman) were Attila and the Huns, whose careel- was one of fierce ravage from Constantinople to the Rhine, in the years 434-53. Of the same race were the Bulgarians, who possessed themselves of the larger part of the Balkan peninsula, and the Magyars who settled in Pannonia, in 865. These became Christian and helped to make early Europe. Others of the same race waged frequent war upon the Mohammedan Caliphs of Bag- dad, and ultimately became not only the mercenary soldiery, but the virtual masters of these rulers. By the end of the tenth cen- tur}- they had adopted the Mohammedan faith and had become widely organized as a new power in Asia. Their race established TOPICS AND CHIEF LINES OF INTEREST 321 a kingdom in Northern China, in 1004. In the same year another great Turkish state was established in India and Afghanistan. Shortly after, Seljuk founded a united Turkish state in Central Asia, which became, under his grandson, Togrul Beg, the greatest of Asiatic powers. Togrul conquered Persia, occupied Bagdad, in 1055, and claimed to be the Mohammedan Sultan of both the East and the West. He attacked Armenia, and his successor, Alp Arslan (1063-72), subjugated and enslaved both the Armenians and the Georgians. These Turks, thus setting up as Mohamme- dans and threatening the Christian lands with conquest, were nothing more than brutal soldiers who found in Mohammedanism religious sanction for their aptitude in ravage and massacre. Whatever of civilization, statecraft, commerce, poetry, romance, law or architecture, the Arab Moslems had developed, they took no note of, save as, barbarous and unteachable soldiers, they overwhelmed whatever culture they encountered under their own brutal and hopeless barbarism. Devastating with fiendish cruelty the border-lands of the Greek Empire, after winning in Armenia the first great pitched battle between Turks and Greeks, they soon became masters of all the interior of Asia Minor, the best part of the Empire, and in 1074 destroyed by fire the Asiatic suburbs of Constantinople. Ten years later Antioch, the greatest of Eastern cities, was taken by the Turks. The empire thus established fell to pieces about the year 1300, under the onslaught of hordes of invading Mongols; and when ten Turkish dynasties sprang up, a series of political events eventually merged all of these in one under Osman, whose descendants, to the number of thirty-four, have succeeded him as Sultans of Turkey, without break in the succession down to the present time. Osman was born in Asia Minor at Sugut, in 1258, and first appeared as Turkish Sultan, in the year 1301. Five Sultans had followed Osman when Mohammed II., the seventh of the line, became Sultan in 1451, and in the spring of 1453 effected the capture of Constantinople, thus putting an end to the Greek Empire of the East, and converting what had long been the most splendid city in the world into the permanent capital of Mohammedan barbar- ism. Turkish history has not been without characters, both intellectually and morally worthy of respect and admiration, and had the Ottoman Turks embraced Christianity instead of Islam they might have risen to a position worthy of the modern world. 21 322 OUTLINE SURVEY OF THE PRINCIPAL From Mohammedanism they have drawn a sanction for depravity and degradation, and for the venting of race or religious spleen in inconceivable atrocities and indiscriminate massacre, which maintains the worst organization of crime known to the history of power without culture.

THE GREAT CITIES OF THE WORLD Of Importance for Special Mention in Connection with the Literature of all ages and all Lands. Alexandria: a world -capital founded in Egypt by Alexander of Macedon about the end of 332 or early in 331 B. C. Coming to the throne not yet twenty years of age, in 336 B. C, Alexander had destroyed Thebes in Greece, overawed Athens, beaten a Per- sian army in Asia Minor, overwhelmed with defeat an immense Persian host under Daris himself, taken Damascus and all the neighbor cities of Syria, conquered and destroyed Phoenicia's great stronghold, rich and splendid Tyre, and swept Persian power out of Egypt, when he tarried at the point west of the most western mouth of the Nile where an island off the shore had had a notable lighthouse erected upon it, and had a Greek architect make a magnificent plan for a monumental city to bear his name. In its two chief central avenues, crossing each other at right angles in a great square; with fine houses, temples, and public buildings; its palaces, museum and famous library; its grand theatre, beautiful gymnasium, magnificent Greek and Egyp- tian temples, splendid race-course, and great Necropolis, Alexandria at once became the Greek capital of Egypt, a city of many races, to the number of 300,000 freemen, and a still larger number of slaves. The Ptolemies made it, down to 30 B. C, the most mag- nificent city of the world, except Rome and Antioch; commerce accepted it as a world-centre and gave it unexampled prosperity; Greek learning and literature gathered here as nowhere else, and spread hence over nearly all the ancient world. When Rome succeeded to its possession, upon the death of Cleopatra B. C. 30, commerce and culture alike made it a mart without an equal. As Greece lost from Alexander's time, Alexandria became for four hundred years the home and centre of learning and litera- ture a seat of science and of a vast library, and a school of 324 OUTLINE SURVEY OF THE PRINCIPAL Students and teachers to whom we owe the preservation of the masterpieces of Greek literature. At the head of an immense Jewish quarter in the time of Christ, where Judaism not only read its scriptures in a Greek version but mingled Greek thought with Hebrew, there lived the famous Philo Juda^us, who fused Plato with Moses, and framed conceptions of Deity which profoundly influenced early Christian doctrine. Christianity found in Alexandria one of its chief seats, as early as the second century; and down to 641 A. D., when the Arabs captured it, it remained a chief centre of Christian teachers and literature. In the third century B.

Early in the seventeenth century, when the English exiles, who became the "Pilgrim Fathers," spent a year in it, before going on to Leyden, the rise of the Dutch East India Company (in 1602) had greatly added to its commerce and made it a city of 100,000 in- habitants. Its finest church at this time was already 200 years old. Rembrandt made Amsterdam his home; Spinoza was a native of Jew descent; and Vondel, greatest of Dutch poets, lived and died here.

Its considerable growth and pros- perity dated from the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, and at the beginning of the sixteenth century it had become the com- mercial capital of the world. In its capture by Spanish soldiery in 1576 the city hall and a thousand fine buildings were de- stroyed and 8,000 of its citizens massacred. A second attack by the Duke of Parma in 1585 scattered its population and reduced it to a very low state. Its modern rise was promoted by Na- poleon, 1 794-1814, and by the union of Belgium with Holland, 1815-30. Its Belgian history since 1839 has been one of very great prosperity.

The character of Athens as a seat of culture dated from the sixth-century career of Solon as a lawgiver, and the rule after him of Pisistratus, who most admirably managed the administration of Attica, fotmded special interest in literature by making the first complete edition of Homer, promoted attention to national religious festivals, and entered largely upon the splendid temple-building which was to make Athens the supreme achievement of the world in constructive and decorative art. In thorough democratic organization and mature development, Athens had completed the earlier stage of her history when a Persian in- vasion, before which the inhabitants fled, completely destroyed it in 480 B. C. With, however, the Greek victories of Salamis and Plataea the next year, Athens vv^as splendidly restored, enlarged, and beautified, and entered upon a period of greatness, 479-403 TOPICS AND CHIEF LINES OF INTEREST ,27 B. C, not only unsurpassed for developments of culture, but un- equaled by anything elsewhere seen in history. From the dis- astrous close of the Peloponnesian War, and the attainment by Macedon of supremacy after the battle of Cha;roiiea, 338 B. C, Athens declined from the greatness of the period of Themistocles and Pericles, yet for a long time kept its distinction as the great seat of schools of philosophy and the most brilliant centre of learning of the ancient world. It was in this age of splendid decay that the seats of the Dionysiac theatre were restored in marble, that Aristotle expounded science and philosophy with a knowledge and power which swayed European culture for fifteen centliries, and that architectural triumphs reached their height in constructions which might have remained the wonder of the world had not Roman spoliation under Sulla, Gothic ravage in the third century A. D., and transfer of her finest art to Constantinople, in the next century, left Athens despoiled and degraded. Jus- tinian, in 529 A. D., inaugurated the Dark Ages of Christendom by an edict closing the schools of science and learning at Athens. What was thus begun of extinction of a great tradition of knowl- edge and thought was completed by the nearly four hundred years of blighting Turkish despotism, which began in 1456 and lasted until 1833.

C. ; greatly enlarged by the famous Haroun Al-Raschid, in the ninth century; and un- der his son, Al-Mamiin, made a great seat of Arabic learning and literature. It was ravaged by the Turks a hundred years later, and with vicissitudes of conflict between Turks and Per- sians has been for 260 years a monument of Turkish misrule. The province of Bagdad, comprising the lower portion of the Euphrates and Tigris basin, is now mostly a barren wilderness, where once fertility, industry, citlture, and empire made Baby- lonia the mistress and the teacher of the ancient world; and a district of which was the " Garden of Eden. ^^ Cairo: the capital of modern Egypt; dating from the foun- dation, in 641, by 'Amr, the Moslem conqueror of Egj-pt, of a palace alongside of a Roman fortress. A second palace city was added in 751 near the first; then a third in 868; and finally a fourth, and much greater, in 969, by Johar, a victorious general, who called his new city El-Kahira, ** The Victorious*'; the name which became, by corruption, Cairo. Cairo has a university founded in 971, to which 2,000 students annually come from all parts of the Moslem world; and it is rich in mosques, tombs, schools, TOPICS AND CHIEF LINES OF INTEREST ,2Q houses, and fountains representing the purest and finest Saracen art. Modern Cairo, broadly enlarged beyond the ancient, and now the largest city of Africa, has a population not far from 400,000, and since 1882 it has been the seat of English influence for progress in Egypt. The situation of Cairo, twelve miles above the apex of the delta of the Nile, and one hundred and fifty miles by rail from Alexandria, is that of the natural centre of Egypt. From its citadel, on a spur of the rocky range of Mo- kattem, the prospect is one of great magnificence and beauty. Of its four hundred mosques, many of which are unused and falling into ruins, the most magnificent is that of Sultan Hasan near the citadel, and dating from 1357.

It was about the year 11 13 that Irnerius commenced to lecture on the Civil Law at Bologna, with special reference to the appli- cation of the codes of Theodosius and Justinian to secular mat- ters. To this instruction there was soon added study of the canon law, especially the exposition of the '■Wecretujii '' of Gra- tian, which came out in 1151. In 1158, Frederick I. granted the professors and scholars certain special privileges and immunities. The earliest organization was that of the students into guilds, for association and self-protection, the guilds representing different nationalities. It is said that about the year 1200 there were some 10,000 students at Bologna, mostly of mature years, and engaged with only two branches of study, the civil law and the canon law. About this time, however, the two faculties of medi- cine and the arts were formed, and both developed by a succes- sion of able teachers. The teaching of theology was undertaken by the Dominicans, and in the year 1360 Pope Innocent VI. recognized the degree-conferring power of the university for theolog}'. In 137 1, a report to the Pope mentioned, as receiving pay for teaching, twelve professors of civil law, six of canon law, six of medicine, and one of surgery, two of logic, and one each of astrology, rhetoric, and the duties of a notary. Dis- tinctly organized " colleges ** were first established at Bologna in the fourteenth century, for the benefit of foreign students in ne- cessitous circumstances. One such was founded February 1256, the date of the founding of the Sorbonne in Paris. A Spanish college founded in 1364, for twenty-four Spanish scholars and two chaplains, still exists.

As churchmen of great zeal, with no thought of separating Church and State, they made at first a scandalous exhibition of legalized and enforced worship and custom, and of excessive superstition and want of enlighten- ment, but were ultimately driven to concede liberty, and with lapse of time passed from orthodox rigor to heterodox liberalism and broad advance in every form of culture. The old churches of the earliest Puritan days became Unitarian, as did the West- minster Assembly Presbyterian churches of Cromwell's time in England; and still later the oldest church remaining orthodox, and the most notable Episcopal church of the city, conspicuously represented new-departure liberalism not counted as heterodox. The early founding by Boston and the Massachusetts colony of Harvard College initiated developments of education, science, literature, art, charity, hardly paralleled by any centre of culture anywhere in the world; and in every great period of political development in America, Boston has stood conspicuously and effectively at the very front.

It suffered again in TOPICS AND CHIEF LINES OF INTEREST ^^^ the wars of Spain against Louis XIV., and in that of Austria against Louis XV. Its better fortunes came under Maria Theresa. After a century of vicissitudes, 1 695-1 794, it was in the posses- sion of France until 18 14; was then united with Holland until 1830, when it became the capital of an independent Belgium.

Cambridge [England]: one of the great English seats of in- struction in culture; its earliest possession of the characteristics of a university dating from 1233; its oldest college, Peterhouse, established in 1286; nearly twenty colleges founded between 1250 and 1600, each a corporation of teachers and students, and their union constituting the university. Each college has its fellows, its scholars, and its undergraduate students, engaged in either teaching or study, under regulations fixed by the universitv as a supreme governing and degree-conferring body. The traditions of Latin ecclesiasticism, which greatly hindered educational ad- vance down to a very recent time, have been exchanged within the last half century for broad attention to science, literature, and free research. The student body numbers about 3,000 and the fellows and scholars between eight and nine hundred. In the long course of English intellectual development Cambridge has at times notably represented freedom of learning and wealth of thought, in contrast with conservative rigor of tradition and poverty of instruction at Oxford.

D. ; and of Greek Christian Empire from 395 A. D., when Theodosius the Great divided the Roman Em- pire to his two sons, Honorius in the West, and Arcadius in the East. The plan of Constantine to make a New Rome was exe- cuted by extensive rebuilding of Byzantium., which dated from 667 B. C, and had long been an important seat of commerce. The dedication by Constantine of his New Rome to the Virgin Mary took place May 11, 330, and the final conquest by Moham- med II., extinguishing the Greek Christian Empire, was on the 29th of May, 1453. No more commanding and advantageous site has ever served as a capital of empire, or suffered under degradation like that of government by Moslem Turks. Dark as in many respects the story of Byzantine or Greek Empire was, yet the bulwark which it formed for many centuries against barbarian invasion of Europe, and the missions by which it disseminated Christianity among Russian and other Slavonic peoples of eastern Europe, contributed most notably to European culture; and when con- quest took place, first by Latin Christians in the thirteenth cen- tury, and finally by the Turks, the result to Latin Christendom, mainly by way of Italy, was dissemination of Greek knowledge of art in the cities of Italy, and of Greek learning and manu- scripts, Greek teachers and library treasures, to western scholars, with the effect of that marvelous awakening to new interest in literature, which is known as the Revival of Learning.

Its walls, Roman in foundation and Moorish in superstructure, enclose a very large area, from much of which the ruins of houses have been cleared away and gardens made. The old royal palace is in ruins. The cathedral, originally a mosque, still presents in its interior one of the most beautiful specimens in Europe of Moorish architecture. Measuring 395 feet one way and 356 the other, it is divided by a wilderness of magnificent pillars into nineteen aisles lengthwise of the building and twenty-nine crosswise. The unique magnificence of the original has been greatly injured by Christian alterations. Cor- dova was the first Roman colony in Spain, about 152 A. D.

It was made a burgh or borough in 1329 by Robert Bruce, with a port at Leith on the sea two miles distant; be- came the Scotch capital, the meeting place of Pariiament in the fifteenth century; entered with the birth of Queen Mary on its greatest historic period; saw John Knox rise to Reformation fame in 1560, and Mary of Scots appear from France the next year for the tragedies of her career; and in 1603 sent her king to succeed Queen Elizabeth on the throne of England. Her univer- sity, founded in 1583, became, in the early part of the eighteenth century, one of the most important centres of medical study in Europe, while Burns, Hume, Adam Smith, Sir Walter Scott, and the Edinburgh Review, attested thc^plendor of her part in Eng- lish literature. In the house duties which it pays Edinburgh stands next to London, and as a place of residence it is the most important for shopkeeping interests out of London. Its greatest industries are the making and publishing of books and the brew- ing of the famous Scotch ale.

It rose to importance as a free city when its jurisdiction became the prerogative of the Roman Pope, in the eleventh century. It was already famous for its guilds of workers in gold and jew- elry, and its extensive trade in both France and England. The connection with Rome involved it in wars with the Emperor, and from 1215 this unfortunate situation was aggravated by ex- cessive party conflicts between the great families arrayed on one side or the other, and the parties led by such families, until, finally, after more than three centuries of magnificent energies spent in struggles for power, with interludes of peace and splen- did progress, the Pope and the Emperor united in 1529-30 to overthrow the republican form of government and give the sov- ereignty to a grand duke. During the previous hundred years the famous Medici family had brilliantly promoted the glory of the city by their patronage of art and literature; and Savonarola's career had added not the least of the tragedies which are a part of the dramatic story of Florence. Dante, Petrarch, and Boccac- cio, the greatest initiators of literature in Italy, were of Flor- entine extraction. The awakening of Europe to new Greek learning and broad human interest was begun in Florence. As early as 1400 A. D. Florence had become one of the fore- most cities of the world for silk and woolen goods, and as a centre of banking operations. The merchants of Florence had agencies in London and several other towns of England to collect papal dues, buy wool of some 200 monasteries, conduct banking. TOPICS AND CHIEF LINES OF INTEREST ^^I and lend money. Known as Lombards they left the name in Lombard Street, where the banking business of London still centres. The tremendous wealth of the Medici family was that of an immense international bank, and from the capital accirmu- lated in Florence the chief sovereigns of Europe were supplied with funds. Six hundred years ago, in 1298, the foundations of the Duomo or Cathedral of Florence were laid, the dome of which, by Brunelleschi, is one of the supreme architectural achievements of all time. The final execution of the fagade of this monu- mental structure was celebrated in 1878. No school of Italian art equals in importance that of Florence. Her collections and her historical monuments are of unsurpassed interest. Like Athens in its delightful climate and the charm of the country around it, it is nearer to Athens than any other city of the world as a home of art and a foundation of culture. Dante stands over against Homer, and Michael Angelo against Pheidias. The torch of Greek light passed from Constantinople to Europe through Florence ; and Humanism set out thence on its benificent mission to theologies darkened by superstition and churches dechristian- ized by persecution of new thought.

The Glasgow Cathedral stands on the very spot where about 560 A. D. a little wooden church was built as the seat of a mission to convert the Celts of Strathclyde.

The extreme antiquity of Herat is marked by a colossal earthwork enclosing a quadrangle of nearly a mile square. This wall of earth averages 250 feet wide at the base and about fifty feet in height, and on it is built a wall fourteen feet thick at the base and twenty-five feet high.

The reign of Edward III. saw London already strong in wealth and prosperity. The city proper of London, in distinction from the immense territory and vast aggregate of poptilation commonly known as London, contains but 668 acres and barely 50,000 people resident in its houses; while the popular London embraces over 75,000 acres and has a population considerably exceeding 4,000,000. The reason why the addition of suburbs did not proceed, as in most great cities, was the extent to which immense ecclesiastical estates cov- ered the greater part of these suburbs and resisted municipal extension and improvement. In the Great Plague of 1665 the city and suburbs lost a fifth of the population, 97,306, and in the Great Fire of the next year, which raged for five days, fifteen city wards were swept over and eight others damaged ; 396 acres of houses, comprising 400 streets, 13,200 private houses, 88 churches, and St. Paul's Cathedral, were utterly consumed. From the rebuilding which followed, the modern " city" or centre of the great London dates. In its vast aggregate the larger London is the greatest centre in the world of population, capital, activity of every kind, political power and prestige, magnificent sover- eignty, and intellectual distinction and achievements; and the history of London surpasses every other in the variety and extent of its contributions to human progress.

Manchester was described in Queen Elizabeth's time as ** surpassing 34S OUTLINE SURVEY OF THE PRINCIPAL I neighbouring towns," and in 1724 as "the largest, most rich, pop- ulous, and busy village in England,** with "trade incredibly larg^." It was here, shortly after the last date, that there began in England the industrial revolution, caused by adoption of the factory system. The steam engine, the canal, and the railway were made to serve trade and commerce earlier here than any- where else; and to-day a ship canal makes Manchester, thirty-one miles east of Liverpool, an inland seaport. At no point in Eng- land are knowledge and intellectual development more advanced than in this great Lancashire mart of the British manufacture of cotton, the political capital of the north of England.

Kieff, in the southwest, on the Dneiper, was founded in 864. Here Russia's earliest saint, Vladimir, caused his people to be baptized; here was the seat of the first Christian church, school, and library, in Russia, when Constantinople sent missionaries to convert the Slavs. For 376 years Kieff was an independent Rus- sian city and capital, with more or less sovereignty over other Russian centres. Its cathedral of St. Sophia, founded in 1037, by Yaroslaff, is the oldest iii the Russian Empire. Its chief mon- astery, connected with which are catacombs containing many tombs of famous saints, and visited every year by about 350,000 pilgrims, is the principal sacred place of Russian pilgrimage. Mongol conquest subjected Kiefif for eighty years, from 1240; .hen for two hundred and forty-nine years it w^as a part of Lithuania, and for ninety-nine years belonged to Poland. It was united to Russia again in 1667. TOPICS AND CHIEF LINES OP INTEREST 349 Novgorod, or "New-town,*^ represents early Slavonian settle- ment as it advanced northward from Kiefif. Its name refers to the fact that it was founded later than the fort which first served the settlers. It was here that the Slavonian population invited Rurik and his companions to establish the Norse rule which was the foundation of the Russian dynasty and state (in 862). A certain dependence on Kieff w^as long recognized, but for five hundred years Novgorod maintained independent Home Rule in Republican form on the basis of a charter granted by its prince, in 997. Its situation on the great highway of com- merce from Constantinople to the Scandinavian centres of trade for all northern Europe enabled it to develop an immense trade, and very great wealth, and to become a strong centre of coloniza- tion to the North and East. It was strong enough to repel both Swedish and German invasions, in 1240 and 1242, and to escape Mongol conquest, which about 1240 overwhelmed Kieff and left Novgorod its successor, for more than two hundred years, as the chief city of Russia. From 1456 Moscow began its subjection, and in great part its destruction, — a work which St. Petersburg ultimately completed. PsKOFF, originally a colony of Novgorod, ultimately became a strong independent republic, and even more democratic than Novgorod. The extensive trade which it secured made it a city large enough to establish forty-two large and wealthy churches, and numerous monasteries, and to enclose its various sections, and even its suburbs, wnth strong walls, the ruins of which are still to be seen. After the fall of Novgorod, in 1475, Pskolf alone remained independent of Moscow, and this lasted only un- til 15 10, when Moscow abolished its sovereignty, took away its bell, gave its wealth to Moscow merchants settling there, and put it under a Moscow governor. The last vestiges of its self-gov- ernment were abolished at the end of the seventeenth century, and from that time the ancient city fell into rapid decay. Moscow became an important commercial city in the four- teenth century, largely owing to its central position in the re- gion where Russian nationality was first developed. About the end of the fifteenth century no fewer than 18,000 of the richest Novgorod merchant families, with the entire trade of that city, were transported to Moscow and towns dependent on it. Upon the conquest of Siberia its trade extended eastward to China. ^co OUTLINE SURVEY OF THE PRINCIPAL and in the sixteenth century nearly the whole trade of Russia was centred at Moscow, which became the great storehouse and exchange-mart for the merchandise of Europe and Asia. Even the opening of a port at St. Petersburg, which at first affected Moscow unfavorably, did not prevent an enormous increase of its Asiatic and internal trade. Peter the Great was driven to seek a new capital by the antagonism which his reforming plans excited in Moscow. It has remained the most venerated, and in many respects the most considerable city of Russia. It is second only to St. Petersburg as an industrial and manufactur- ing centre ; and is supremely important from its central position, where the streams of Asiatic and European commerce meet. The Kremlin or " Citadel *' of Moscow, a fortress enclosure dating from 1300, and encircled (in 1367) with stone walls, with eighteen towers and five gates, has within it the grandest of Russian cathedrals, built for the metropolitan of central Russia in 1326, and rebuilt in 1475-79, Other buildings within the Kremlin en- closure are two other cathedrals; numerous minor churches and monasteries; the Ivan Veliki tower, 270 feet high, built in 1600 by Boris GodunofT; four palaces of special historic interest; the arsenal; and the Hall of the Synod. To Russian traditional feel- ing this fortress enclosure is the Holy City of the empire. Out- side the Kremlin a colossal ^* Temple of the Saviour," built to commemorate 181 2; an immense bazaar; museums, libraries, pic- ture galleries, monasteries, and the university frequented by be- tween 3,000 and 4,000 students, — not to speak of palaces and monasteries in the suburbs, contribute to make " Moscow the Holy ** to Russian feeling the real capital of the empire.

In its mingling of races, English, French (Creole), German, Irish, Italian, Spanish, Scandinavian, and Jewish, besides negroes, next to the English- American in number, and Indians, Chinese, and Malays, it is more cosmopolitan in culture than any other American city, and in its representative class, English or French in origin, of notable social refinement and intellectual distinction.

Unlike London, which spreads single residences in great number over a vast area, very often with some open ground and small garden space, Paris is built in huge blocks of tenements or apartments, each floor con- stituting a dwelling, and a common entrance serving for six or seven on as many floors. Under Napoleon IIL immense renew- als of parts of the city were made, with wide and straight in- stead of the old narrow and crooked streets. In these new streets and in her monuments and monumental buildings, and in the rich and elegant character of all places of business or public assembly, Paris is a spectacle of magnificence which no other city in the world attempts to parallel. Julius Caesar found it a collection of mud huts, and in 55 B. C. utilized the strategic importance of the locality by founding an important Roman town, some of the ruins of which can still be seen. It became in the sixth century the seat of government of Clovis, but gave way under the dynasty of Charlemagne to Aix-la-Chapelle as the capital ; and only under Hugh Capet, in the tenth century, became the permanent seat of the kings of France. Its great mediaeval epoch, when it conspicuously set in mo- tion great modern tendencies, was that of the reign of Philippe 356 OUTLINE SURVEY OF THE PRINCIPAL Auguste (i 180-1223). Its great masterpieces of Gothic art, its famous university, the first in modern Europe, and its castle of the Louvre, a strong citadel, date from this epoch, when Paris surpassed all other cities of Europe except Constantinople. About the year iioo, two famous controversies between Lan- franc and B^renger, and between Anselm and Roscellinus, initi- ated extraordinary interest in discussion, and led to study of dialectic as the art of reasoning correctly. In the first decade of the twelfth century, William of Champeaux, taught dialectic with great success in Paris, and Abelard, his most notable pupil, not only followed him with extraordinary success, but boldly ap- plied dialectic to the exposition and defense of rationalism. Out of this activity grew a group of teachers attached to the Cathe- dral of Notre Dame and licensed by its chancellor to act as mas- ters of schools. These masters formed an organization, which became between the years 1150 and 1170 the earliest university of Paris, the first written statutes of which were compiled about the year 1208, and the position of which was recognized by the Pope about the year 121 1. A contrast between Bologna and Paris, favorable to the influence and reputation of the latter, was the fact that the instruction at Bolonga was entirely professional, while at Paris a much broader study of knowledge was under- taken. Paris became known as the great school of thought in the field of theology, and it remained the great theological school of the Middle Ages, to which vast crowds of students came from all parts of Europe, and from which they carried back the art and culture of Paris.

To Phila- delphia belongs the interest also of the convention which framed the Constitution of the United States, in 1787, and of the pres- ence of the Government there from 1790 to 1800, including seven years of Washington's service as President. A notable glory, moreover, of the Quaker city is the career there of the second greatest American of colonial times, Benjamin Franklin. The academy founded by the sons of William Penn became a college in 1755, and a university in 1779, and the developments of more than a hundred years have made it one of the largest and most broadly effective of American seats of learning. In medicine especially, apart from the university as well as in connection with it, Philadelphia has long held the highest rank, not only in the United States, but in comparison with the great foreign seats of medical instruction.

Its university, founded in 1348 with a munificent endowment, brought foreigners to Prague from every part cf Europe; not less than 10,000 students being in attendance at the beginning of the fifteenth century; but the Ref- ormation overthrew all this, almost destroying the town in 1524.

D., which joined with Germany to make the Holy Roman Empire, the end of which did not come until 1806. From 1870 Rome has been the capital of the modern kingdom of Italy. The historic date for the founding of Rome is April 21, 753 B.C., and Roman story makes kings to have reigned until 510 B.

An earlier city of great extent was destroyed by Alexander the Great. Its successor became known as Samar- kand upon its conquest by the Arabs in 93 of the Moslem era, 7 1 1-7 1 2 A. D. Destroyed after pillage by Jenghiz Khan in 12 19, it yet became the seat of Timur's power; and magnificent build- ings erected by him and his successors, — palaces, colleges, mosques, and a citadel four square miles in area and one of the strongest in Asia, — attest the power and wealth of which it was once the seat. The central square on which three great colleges 364 OUTLINE SURVEY OF THE PRINCIPAL were built is in architectural symmetry and beauty worthy of comparison with the finest examples in Italy. The college built by Timur became in the fifteenth century a renowned school of mathemathics and astronomy. A fourth college on another and much larger square, with three mosques, and rooms for a thou- sand students, was built by a Chinese wife of Timur in 1388. Here are the still grand remains of the burial place of Timur's wives. In connection with Timur's summer palace outside the walls is the tomb of Shah-Zindeh, a famous companion of Mo- hammed, who is believed to be still living, awaiting the time when he will rise for the defense of Islam. Samarkand, a splendid city with the chief astronomical observatory of the world in Baber's time 2 1 141 St. Petersburg : the capital for Russia which Peter the Great, having regard to European considerations, founded on the marshy islands of the Neva, in a situation the most disadvantageous possible in respect of its internal Russian relations, but for the purpose of its creator, that of easy access to Europe and the world at large for Russian products, the best that could have been selected. The situation is hundreds of miles distant from the centres of Russian life. Desolate wildernesses extend an im- mense distance both north and east from the outskirts of the city. The regions of Pskoff and Novgorod to the south are very thinly peopled. In no direction is there an important Russian city within four hundred miles. The canals and railways, by which traffic reaches it, traverse vast tracts of inhospitable country. To the west on either side of the Gulf of Finland, into the head of which the Neva flows, the shores are foreign, with interests which look in the other direction. Yet the scheme formed by Peter effected his purpose of creat- ing a place for vast outflow of Russian exports. Trade had taken this course from the earliest years of Russian history. Peter's scheme only contemplated repeating what Novgorod had attempted with immense success in wealth and power, and what it might have made permanent if it could have gained secure possession of the mouth of the Neva. St. Petersburg became, and has now been for nearly one hundred and fifty years, the chief place of export for the most productive parts of Russia, those of the great central plateau which contains the upper basins of TOPICS AND CHIEF LINES OF INTEREST .5- all the chief Russian rivers. By a system of canals connect- ing the upper Volga and Dnieper with the great lakes of the north, the Gulf of Finland was made the commercial outlet for these rivers. It cost hundreds of thousands of human lives to carry out Peter's plan for making a new capital on a site con- sisting of low marshy islands formed by the different channels through which the waters of the Neva enter the Gulf of Finland. Both under Peter and after him compulsory measures of almost savage barbarism were resorted to, to obtain artisans and work- men in sufficient number, and to secure a large population. Entire success, nevertheless, was obtained; the city of Peter became broadly and richly built, populated to more than a mil- lion, and equipped with all the appliances of a great centre of modern culture. In its university especially, its libraries and museums, its great variety of scientific and educational institu- tions, its societies, academies, and observatories, St. Petersburg ranks with the most advanced capitals of modern civilization.

The perils due to frequent wars led dwellers on the mainland to remove, in the year 810, to a not easily accessible group of islets, where they not only founded Venice and chose their first doge or ruler, but began to build the great basilica of St. Mark, which was to become one of the architectural glories of Venetian history. About the end of the tenth century, the success of Venice in destroying an immense nest of pirates on the opposite coast of the Adriatic, initiated special development of her sea power; and during the Crusades employment for this power, and its immense further development, were found in the transport of crusading armies by sea to Palestine. Not only did this bring great wealth to Venice, but it enabled her to occupy important stations, and to plant commercial colonies and factories, on the islands and 366 OUTLINE SURVEY OP THE PRINCIPAL coasts of the Adriatic; and the fourth and last of the great Cru- sades was turned into a Latin conquest of Constantinople, under forces headed by Dandolo, the aged and blind but energetic doge of Venice (1204). The three centuries which followed wit- nessed the highest prosperity, wealth, and power of the Venetian state. A great commerce with the remote East was entered upon, raising to a great height the interest of Europe in India and its islands, as a source of rich products, and a mine of un- told wealth. In genius for commerce and sea power, Venice be- came the first power in the world. Its arsenal, in which its ships were built, employed in its best days 16,000 workmen, and during the critical period of its great struggle with the Turks towards the end of the sixteenth century, a fully equipped galley was turned out every morning for a hundred successive days. As early as the fourteenth century and down to the seventeenth, Venice added to her sea power that of important continental de- velopment with large extension of her territory on the mainland. From the date of the conquest of Constantinople by the Turks until the victory over them of Lepanto, in 15 71, Venice maintained itself, almost unaided until the final struggle, against Turkish aggression. Decline from her utmost power and magnificence be- gan when Portugal succeeded in reaching India by sea and draw- ing to Lisbon the wealth of that commerce. The wars of the next two hundred years in Europe further militated against her prosperity, although the half century 1644-94 witnessed splendid demonstrations of her sea power and naval skill. A century of decay brought her into subjection to Austria in 1798; and in 1866 she passed through the hands of Napoleon III. into union with Italy iinder Victor Emmanuel.

In the eighth century Charlemagne expelled the barbarians of the district, and made it the boundary of his empire, where it stood as the most advanced bulwark of Western civilization and Christianity against the Turks, Hungary being, during the whole of the Middle Ages, thoroughly Asiatic. Vienna's first charter was given by Frederick H., in 1237. The Crusades created a traffic which rapidly promoted the growth of Vienna. It was in 1276 that it became the capital of the Haps- burg dynasty. The siege b}- the Turks which Vienna withstood for two months, in 1683, and from which John Sobieski of Poland delivered it, was one of the most notable events of the seven- teenth century. Although carrying its antiquity back to the time of Christ, when the Romans (14 A. D.) occupied the Celtic set- tlement of Vindoniina under the new name of Vhidobona^ there is no city of Europe to-day more thoroughly modern, fresh, and hand- some, from nineteenth-century improvements. The old walls en- closing an irregular hexagon have been cleared away, and a series of boulevards fifty-five yards wide taken their place, except on one side, where a quay on the Danube canal is the bound. The Prater, a park of seven square miles, is one of the finest in Europe. The Public Hospital, with 2,000 beds, is perhaps the largest in the world. The Cathedral of Vienna dates from the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, with some portions still left of a twelfth-century building. The Hofburg near the cathedral is a huge mass of buildings of various epochs and styles, constituting the Imperial Palace, and dating in its oldest parts from the thir- teenth century. The University of Vienna, established in 1365, 368 OUTLINE SURVEY OF THE PRINCIPAL and attended by over 6,000 students, is especially notable for its distinction in medical instruction. The art collections, public and private, and the architectural monuments of recent advance, are unsurpassed.

York became an important Roman depot after the conquest by Agricola, in 79 A. D. The Romans built there a city which be- came their military capital in Britain. The Emperor Hadrian took up his residence there, in 120 A. D. ; Severus died there, in February 211; Constantius Chlorus also, in July 306; and there his son, Constantine the Great, was inaugurated the Roman Em- peror. York was made the seat of an archbishopric, in 627; and under archbishop Egbert (732-766) it became celebrated as a school of learning. Under Alcuin it was one of the most famous educational centres of Europe. Charlemagne sent to York for Alcuin to take charge of establishing schools and learning in his German dominions.

READERS will note that for authors represented in the Library a first paragraph of items covers the analysis of the essay on the author. The second paragraph of indexical items contains the titles of the ex- amples of literature of the same author given with the essay, and the biographical reference to Vol. 29. In many cases other references are added to this paragraph, giving titles of works referred to in the volume of « Synopses » (Vol. 30), or elsewhere, but for important cases these items form a third paragraph.

For Vols. 1-2S the paging of the Library is continuous, making reference by page more certain. For the volume reference" look at the first reference under eaab name.
