Internationaler Buchtitel. In englischer Sprache.

This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: the door of the church of Wittenburg; and some one has said, very justly, that the blows of his hammer shook all christendom. Thus, an Augustine monk, denouncing the corruptions of Catholicism, introduced a schism in religion and changed the entire foundations of human government. Civil liberty was born of religious liberty. Nearly contemporary with the publication of the bible was the practical use of the mariner's compass. That property of the magnet which gives polarity to the needle was known several centuries before the discovery of America. But navigators were slow to employ this unerring guide in traversing the seas. The French and Italians both claim the invention of the compass, which opened to man the dominion of the sea. "The common opinion," says Hallam, " which ascribes the discovery [of the polarity of the magnet] to a citizen of Amalfi, in the fourteenth century, is undoubtedly erroneous." It was, without dispute, in general use during the fifteenth century, by the Genoese, Spaniards and Portuguese. Soon after the discovery of America, Vasco de Gama sailed round the " Stormy Cape, " opened a new passage to India and changed the whole commerce of the world. The story of his perilous voyage, " married to immortal verse," still lives in the Epic of the Portuguese Cam- oens. These potent causes, the revival of classical learning, the invention of printing and the compass, and the reformation in the church, all contributed to awaken the common mind in Europe, to give new force and intensity to public opinion, and to impart increased energy to national enterprise. CHAPTER III. THE AGENTS OF MODERN ENTERPRISE. Men of action and men of thought have existed in all ages. In the oriental world, the men of action became warriors; the men of thought, priests.
