Samuel Goodrich's "General History of the World" is a general history of the world, which includes the historiographical masterpieces of 4 oceans and 7 continents, and the complete set of books has a total of six volumes, including 3 volumes of Asian history, 2 volumes of European history, and 1 volume of history of other continents.
This general history covers a wide range of content, with the characteristics of an encyclopedia, and introduces the customs of various countries, folk culture, regional changes, and so on.
The content involved is more exciting than the story, and the truth contained in it is as profound as philosophy, reading it can broaden people's horizons, and they can also understand the underlying logic behind the rise and fall of the world.
Book 6 is about the history of Africa, the Americas, Oceania and other continents, and although it is not so thick compared to Asia and Africa, there are individual countries that are also remarkable.
For example, in Africa, we should be most impressed by Egypt, as one of the four ancient civilizations, it has a glorious culture, which can be compared to any country in the world.
Egyptian murals, Egyptian music, Egyptian architecture, Egyptian working tools, etc., are all witnesses of early human civilization. When these civilizations spread to Europe and farther afield, they led to more development and progress of mankind.
The author of "General History of the World" uses geography as the bone and history as the flesh to tell the people and things that happened on the earth, and it is really worthwhile to open this set of books to let you look back at the entire world history.
