1895. Church writes in the Preface: The present volume must be
considered as an introduction or preface to the series of Epochs of
Modern History...This is a mere general sketch...My aim has been
little more than to disengage the leading lines in the history of
five most important and most confused centuries, and to mark the
influences which most asserted themselves, and which seem to have
most governed the results as we see them in subsequent history. In
this summary view I have confined my attention mainly to the West,
saying little of the great nations of later times in the North and
East-Scandinavia, Poland, Hungary, Russia. The reason is, that the
course of modern history was determined in the West, and what
happened in the North and East took its start and course from what
happened and had taken permanent forms in the nations of the West
and South. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger
