Overview

Professor Hutton Webster’s World History covers prehistoric times to the twentieth century. Written during the ascendance of universal history, in which history works towards a “common civilization of mankind,” Webster’s text reflects the historiographical ideals of the early twentieth century. His text is designed for those with only a cursory knowledge of world history and provides helpful insights on the periods “most interesting and profitable to the student.”
