Excerpt from The Ecclesiastical History of Eusebius: The First Book and Selections, Edited for Schools and Colleges

The whole of Eusebius's Ecclesiastical History is too much for a text-book. These selections relate mainly to the early period, to the lives of the apostles and other persons mentioned in the Bible, to the history of the apostolic or other inspired writings, the fate of Je rusalem, the great persecutions, the acts of martyrs, andthe life and manners Of the early ages. What the Church treasured up on these subjects is of interest to all men, and a knowledge of them comes home to the business and bosoms of all thoughtful members of a Christian community. It would seem that the study of them in the admirable language in which they were originally recorded might help to make our college graduates not only learned in the Greek language, but stout-hearted men, ready to work and suffer for the truth.
