Algemeene Geschiedenis in Verhalen: Oudheid
by H. Solger
About the author
Very little biographical information about H. Solger appears to be readily available in major public sources. What can be confirmed is that this author is credited with Algemeene Geschiedenis in Verhalen: Oudheid, a Dutch work on ancient history.
That book was published in 1880 and was issued by N. A. Hingst. Its contents move through subjects such as the Egyptians, Persians, Greeks, Rome, and the fall of the Western Roman Empire, which suggests that Solger wrote with an educational purpose in mind, likely aiming to make history easier to follow through narrative episodes.
Because reliable biographical records are scarce, it is safest to remember H. Solger through the work itself: a concise, accessible history book designed to introduce readers to the ancient world in plain, organized fashion.
