Contains bibliographies of every country.
Extracts from contemporaneous and later writers pieced together to produce
continuous narratives of the great nations. Such a collection
must inevitably contain much that is antiquated as history proper,
however interesting to the student of historical literature. Of incontestable
value are the forty-odd special essays contributed in the
main by scholars of the first distinction in their respective fields.
Readers who are fond of discursive historical reading will probably
fare on the average quite as well by resorting to the Historians' History
as they are likely to if they select books on their own initiative.

"The period of our history which it embraces takes in the great battles
of Bannockburn, Cressy, and Poitiers and the accounts which are
here contained of these celebrated engagements are of the greatest
possible interest, as they are evidently of the greatest authenticity,
and are undoubtedly derived from the oral testimony of an eye-witness.
