Excerpt from History of Civilization, Being a Course of Lectures on the Origin and Development of the Main Institutions of Mankind
By permission of the Board of Trustees, and of the Faculty of the University of Cincinnati, the author of the present book commenced to deliver a public course of lec tures on the History of Civilization at the lecture-hall of said University. The first lecture was given on the 13th of November, 1886, and, with a few interruptions, the course was continued on every Saturday. The interest of the general public in the course increased so rapidly that it became a mere matter of necessity to rent a larger hall, and thus, after the fourteenth lecture, the course was con tinned at the spacious hall of the Scottish Rite Church. As a further manifestation of the unabating interest of the public, the author was most urgently requested by the most competent people of the city to publish his lectures in book form. A list of subscriptions more than sufficient to cover the considerable expenses of the publication was filled in very short time, and the present book is a faithful copy of the lectures as delivered in the course.
In the, circular, submitted to subscribers, the book was announced to extend to 400 pages; the book, however, numbers over 550 pages, and the author cherishes the belief that the additional 150 pages will not prove unwelcome to the reader. The highly finished cuts have been selected and furnished by Mr. Otto Reich, of Cincinnati.
