Excerpt from A Systematic Analysis of Universal History, From the Creation to the Present Time, Vol. 1: Presenting a Compendium of History, Chronology, Geography and Genealogy, Wherein Is Exhibited a General View of Every Country, Kingdom, Empire, and State, of Which Any Records Remain

After the general Deluge, the limits of history become considerably enlarged; the repeo pling of the earth, the building of the first cities, with the tower of Babel, the confusion of languages, the dispersion of mankind, and the division of the earth among the posterity of Noah, are all interesting topics; particularly the latter, which, as it includes the migrations of the children of Shem, Ham, and Japheth, the founders of the first nations, whose genealogies are described in elucidatory diagrams, leads naturally to a geographical description of the ancient world, where the modern names of places are coupled with those they originally bore.
