The work of Charles Rollin, a French historian and educator. The series provides historical insight into the ancient world, discussing ancient Greece, Egypt and other important ancient civilisations. This once famous historical study has been identified in recent times as uncritical and somewhat inaccurate, but nonetheless an important work which instructed numerous generations in ancient history.

From the library of John Burton Philips of 'The Heath House', with his bookplate to the front pastedowns.
