This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1908 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XXXIX. Review Of The Sixth Period--Testimony Of Heathen Writers--General Review--Conclusion. Review Of Sixth Period.--1.
