Excerpt from The Century of ColumbusOwing to the large field that is covered, the author can scarcely hope to have escaped errors of detail. His only thought is that the broad view of the whole range of achieve ment may be sufficiently helpful to those interested in the his tory of human culture to compensate for faults that were almost inevitable. Its comprehensiveness may give the book a suggestive and retrospective value. It is addressed not to the special student but to the general reader interested in all phases of human accomplishment who wishes to fill in the outlines of political history with the story of the intellectual and ethical life of a great epoch. Thanks are due to Mr. Stephen Horgan for material aid in the selection of illustra tions, no easy task because of the immense material to choose from. A definite effort has been made to avoid the well known masterpieces and have the illustrations add to the knowledge of the time.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
