The Old World and American History is a comprehensive historical survey that traces the profound roots of American civilization back to its European and ancient foundations. Written by Rev. Philip J. Furlong, this work provides a meticulous examination of how the traditions, laws, and cultural developments of the Old World shaped the trajectory and identity of the United States.

The book explores the evolution of Western society, from the classical influences of Greece and Rome through the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, highlighting the pivotal moments and intellectual movements that crossed the Atlantic. By connecting the history of the Americas with the broader narrative of human progress in Europe, Furlong offers readers a clear understanding of the cultural heritage that informs the American experience. Ideal for students of history and those interested in the transatlantic development of modern society, this work serves as an essential bridge between the history of the ancient world and the emergence of a new nation. It remains a valuable resource for understanding the historical continuity and the complex relationship between the traditions of Europe and the growth of the Americas.
