The following pages pretend to no original or scientific research. It is their object to present, in a popular form, a picture of the world as it was a thousand years before the Christian Era, and to exhibit, mainly for the young, a summary of that varied information which is contained in books, many of which by their high price and exclusively technical character are generally unattainable.
It would only have encumbered the fictitious narrative, which is the vehicle for conveying the instruction that is designed, to crowd every page with references; but it may be alleged, once for all, that for every statement which relates to the history of the period, and especially to the history of the Phœnicians, ample authority might be quoted from some one or other of the valuable books which have been consulted.
Of the most important of these a list is here appended:—
1. F. C. Movers. Das Phönizische Alterthum.
2. Renan. Mission en Phénicie.
3. Daux. Recherches sur les Emporia phéniciens dans le Zeugis et le Byzacium.
