Description

When one thinks of Sir Isaac Newton, normally a great scientist and mathematician comes to mind: not a historian. But such was the greatness of Newton's intellect, that he found history a pleasant diversion for his idle moments. He drafted a book on ancient history and the Gentile nations, working on it periodically for over 40 years. It was published posthumously in 1728, a year after he died.

The same genius Newton applied to other disciplines, he brought to bear on ancient history. He notes that pagan nations had commonly greatly exaggerated their achievements, creating much needless confusion. Like a first-rate prosecuting attorney, Newton cross-examines ancient writers, using their own words against them to expose logical inconsistencies. He then develops a more sound chronology using the scientific method based on logic, observations, astronomy, and just plain common sense. Your view of ancient history will never be the same again!

As originally written, Newton's historical work might be difficult for modern readers to understand - but this special edition presents this classic in a format and style suitable for today's readers. In a beautiful, large 9" x 11" hardcover!
