    • Abstract:
      The article presents information about the book "An Outline of General History for the Use of Schools," by M.E. Thalheimer. General history is probably the most difficult subject in a school curriculum, most difficult, that is, to teach in such a way as to present at once a clear, full and interesting view of a succession of events. Almost all books upon this subject fall into two faults, the one, common also to text books of the history of individual nations and periods, of giving a great deal too much detail, the other, of forgetting that it is the history of the world that is to be told, not that of the several nations.
