Excerpt from Outlines of General History
There are three histories:
1. The Unrecorded - not therefore of necessity forgotten - remaining forever in the mind of the All-creating and All-knowing One, who seeth the end from the beginning; who noteth the fall of the sparrow as well as the defeat of armies and the ruin of empires; and who alone comprehendeth the beginning, the end, and the reason and purpose.of both the beginning and end.
2. The Monumental, which in deeds of creative energy, human and divine, suggests, power and purpose in suns and stars, sea and soil, pillar, pyramid, and city.
3. The Written, which by stylus, chisel, brush, or pen, preserves in human language the human interpretations of both human and divine movements.
This little volume, belonging to this latter class, aims to present in varied methods rapid pictures of the world in different ages and in different lands, and to call attention not only to the outward events, but to some of the underlying principles of all history.
