Excerpt from Lectures Upon the Portions of History: With Historical of Outlines for the Use of Schools, Compiled From the Printed Charts and Unpublished Manuscripts of the Late Henry Bostwick
In the accompanying volume the reader is presented with Three Historical Lectures, prepared for the press by the late Henry Bostwick, for many years an eminent lecturer on History in the city of New-York. Strongly marked by the accurate thought and spirited expression which characterized Mr. Bostwick's style, they present a rapid and singularly original outline of History from the creation of the world to the time of Philip of Macedon, intended as the introduction to an extensive series which the author unhappily did not live to complete. He died in the city of New-York, deeply lamented by his numerous pupils and friends, June, 1830, in ,the 49th year of his age.
These lectures are followed by
1. An Epitome of Ancient Geography.
2. An Outline of History from the creation to 3500 A. M.
3. A continuation of the Outline from 3500 to the time of Augustus.
4. A Chronological Index of the most important events from A. M. 3250 to 4004.
5. A further continuation of the Outline, &c., to the reign of Charlemagne, A. D. 800.
6. A Chronological Index from the birth of Christ to the reign of Charlemagne.
