Beacon Lights of History is a two-volume set written by John Lord, a 19th-century American historian and lecturer. The second volume covers the period from the Renaissance to the French Revolution, and includes biographical sketches of notable figures such as Michelangelo, Luther, Shakespeare, Galileo, and Napoleon. Lord's writing style is engaging and informative, providing readers with a detailed account of each individual's life and contributions to history. The book is intended for a general audience and is a great resource for anyone interested in learning more about the key figures of the Renaissance, Reformation, and Enlightenment eras.The warrior-king who conquered the enemies of Israel in a dark and desponding period; the sagacious statesman who gave unity to its various tribes, and formed them into a powerful monarchy; the matchless poet who bequeathed to all ages a lofty and beautiful psalmody; the saint, who with all his backslidings and inconsistencies was a man after God's own heart, --is well worthy of our study. David was the most illustrious of all the kings of whom the Jewish nation was proud, and was a striking type of a good man occasionally enslaved by sin, yet breaking its bonds and rising above subsequent temptations to a higher plane of goodness.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
