Excerpt from The Historic Significance of the Southern Revolution: A Lecture, Delivered by Invitation in Petersburg, Va, March 14th and April 29th, 1864, and in Richmond, Va, , April 7th and April 21st, 1864This introduces the Second Period of History, the Period of Conquest. The idea of selfish power passes over into this period, but it is no longer the power of man the individual: or of man in smaller associations, but of man in large and powerful communities, swaying the besom of aggregate power, chie¿y for the conquest of his'fellows. Each of these Empires lives its allotted time and. After achieving its historic mission, gives way to another more mighty and imposing. This period ends in the bosom of the Roman life, about 100 B. C, , when Julius Caesar began that remarkable career of Conquest which ended in the Culmination of the Roman Empire.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
