<p>Excerpt from A Manual of the Ancient History of the East, Vol. 1: To the Commencement of the Median WarsIn the history of the Israelites two things run side by side one, the constant, direct, and supernatural interferen'ce of the Almighty with the destiny of that nation to whom He had entrusted the sublime mission of preserving religious truth, and from which the Redeemer was to come the other, events arising from ordinary and natural causes apart from this supernatural interference. In writing Sacred History, it would be natural to give prominence to this Divine government of Israel; but in introducing the Israelites into a picture of the whole civilisation of Ancient Asia, it was necessary to look more at the merely human aspect of their history, without, however, for a moment losing sight of the entirely exceptional character of that history.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
