A Brief History Of The World: With Especial Reference To Social And Economic Conditions (1920 · Revised Edition) · With Jay Barrett Botsford (1893–1938)

ℹ️ "This volume aims to provide a course of study for schools which give but a year to European history or which desire a general survey as a basis for more detailed work. The increasing interest in social and economic history has led the authors to emphasize these features. In this book, accordingly, military history is reduced to a minimum ; the treatment of government and administration keeps in view their effect on the welfare of the people ; and the condition and customs of the various social classes are given great prominence. In these respects the book opens to secondary schools a field of historical study quite new to them." (Preface)

Hellenic History (1922) ✓

ℹ️ "The purpose of this volume is to present in brief scope the evolution of Greek civilization a culture simple in its essential unity, although seemingly complex in its many and wide ramifications. In the conviction that the chief aim of history is to explain the present, the author has centered his attention on those phases of Greek life which have influenced to a marked degree the civilization of today.

In short this book represents an effort to combine political, economic, social and cultural history in one synthesis, centering attention on those factors which have contributed essentially to modern civilization.

The Hellenic History is intended to serve primarily as a text-book for college courses in Greek history, and as a guide to the reader who is interested in one or more phases of Greek achievement."
