Next among the provinces touching Par thia, and lying on the eastern border of that country, was Arya, the little district which in the fate and vicissitude of things has preserved to modern times the name of our ancestral race. This province embraces the ancient valley of Herat. The country is mountainous, limited in area, not populous, easily subdued by the more powerful Parthians in the time of their warlike greatness.

Excerpt from Ridpath's Universal History, Vol. 10 of 16: An Account of the Origin, Primitive Condition and Ethnic Development of the Great Races of Mankind, and of the Principal Events in the Evolution and Progress of the Civilized Life Among Men and Nations, From Recent and Authentic Sources, With a Preliminar
By the events recorded in the preceding Book the reader has been made fully aware, not only of the existence, but of the prowess and enterprise of the Hellenic race out of the West. The conflict which he has been considering, terminating in utter disaster to the Persian Empire at Arbela, was a crisis in the affairs of two great peoples having the same ethnic derivation. The Macedonians were one of the European developments of that same family whose fecundity on the plateau of Iran gave us the Persians. Having seen the result of the struggle between the two races, we might here at once transfer our station to the West, to follow the evolution of the Hellenic tribes into nationality, from nationality to conquest, and from conquest to decadence.
Thus far in the present volume we have pursued this suggestive method, tracing the course of one people until its conflict with another people has led us naturally to consider the history of the latter. Thus the conquest of Egypt by the Persians carried the reader's attention, first of all, from the valley of the Nile to the valley of the Euphrates. The conquest of ancient Chaldæa by the Assyrians next drew his interest from the south to the north, from Babylon to Nineveh. Then came the conquest of Assyria by the Medes, which carried the inquirer beyond the Zagros, and made him acquainted, for the first time, with the warlike representatives of the Aryan race. His attention was next recalled by the revival of the Babylonian Power until what time Persia forced her way across Mesopotamia, and subdued the larger part of Western Asia. The history of this Persian Empire we have just considered, and the suggestion of its close would carry us naturally in the wake of the conquerors to Macedonia and the Grecian Islands. This direction we shall indeed presently follow; but before the final transfer of our historical position from Asia to Europe - before descending from this Iranian plateau to view the astonishing development of the ancient Hellenic tribes in their archipelago and on the main-land of Greece - it remains to consider the peculiar history of an Empire which sprang up, and at length occupied the place of Persia on the highlands of Western Asia.
This Empire is Parthia. Its consideration in this connection is difficult.
