Publisher's Synopsis
There have been histories of the world before, but there is not, and may have never been a scientifically compiled world history before these volumes. A mere glance through the names of those who have been enlisted for thieir contributions to this work will establish its great authenticity. This set is made more interesting by the inclusion of over 8000 illustrations and an exclusive detailed index, and as such it may be claimed, with no fear of contradiction, that this work has no rival in its category in the English language.
