- IU [[Time Periods --]] To complete the list,
we will now add that in the course of the following chapters,
whenever we use the term Archaic, we mean before
the time of Pythagoras; when Ancient, before the
time of Mahomet; and when Mediaeval, the period
between Mahomet and Martin Luther. It will only be necessary to
infringe the rule when from time to time we may have to speak
of nations of a pre-Pythagorean antiquity, and will adopt the
common custom of calling them "ancient."
