Goodrich is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The book presents a series of biographical sketches of notable figures from ancient history, aiming to provide both factual content and moral lessons. Among the individuals covered are influential leaders and thinkers such as Mohammed, Belisarius, and Nero, showcasing their impact on the world. At the start of the work, the author introduces the purpose of the sketches, emphasizing moral culture rather than solely historical prominence. The preface explains that while some figures may appear less glorified compared to contemporary heroes, their stories are intended to be equally engaging and informative. The opening section begins with Mohammed, detailing his early life, the foundational moments leading to his prophetic claims, and the societal context of 7th-century Arabia. Goodrich explores Mohammed's character development, his rise to spiritual leader, and hints at the conflicts arising from his teachings, setting the tone for an in-depth exploration of historical figures who shaped their times.
