Excerpt from Universal History, Vol. 4 of 6: From the Creation of the World to the Beginning of the Eighteenth Century We have remarked, that hitherto the Christian churches were entirely independent of each other.

Thus the municipal government began, in many Of the towns Of Europe, to take the place Of the feudal. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
