ABSTRACT

Ten years after the death of Plato, in 347 B.C., Philip.of.Macedon, Chaeronea, defeated the Athemans. An epoch of international empire was to begin which differed from its Chinese, Assyrian and Persian predecessors in this, that it included, within its sweep, the history of a vital part of Europe. The vision of internationalism, of the world-empire, was never again to fade from the scene Until 1815 when Napoleon Bonaparte, would-be Caesar and once crowned Emperor in the presence of the oecumenical Pope, sailed for St. Helena. Our own days have seen its revival.
