Summary

Henry Smith Williams’ “The Historians' History of the World” is a chronological and geographical "tapestry" of human events, these twenty five volumes occupy a very specific and prestigious place in historical research.
A warning on Volume 11 if the reader is looking for the history of France (1715–1815) in this specific 1908 edition, ensure you check Volume 12. In some printings of the 1908 set, the numbering of French history was slightly adjusted, and Volume 11 often ends at the death of Louis XIV (1715).
