Suppl.\* of March 2, 1916, p. 101, speaks of Alexander's 'amazing insight in choosing sites for towns... Very little that he did was ever undone. And the greatest thing that he did was to give the whole (\*sic\*) civilized world for the first time a common language and culture, and to break down the barrier between East and West. In this way he may be called one of the chief forerunners of Christianity'. - [Previous: c16.105](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.smith-1924.c16.105) - [Next: c16.107](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.smith-1924.c16.107) - [Up: c16](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.smith-1924.c16) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.smith-1924.c16.106](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.smith-1924.c16.106) · Pramāṇa
