II. The Modern Age 12mo, cloth, vii + 94 pages, 40 cents

In One Volume 60 cents

This topical outline is arranged to accompany Robinson's "History of Western Europe" or to correlate with "Readings in European History" by the same author. It is not a lecture syllabus, but is meant as an aid in studying the text-books and Readings.

Review questions occur from time to time throughout the text, and a brief list of the most serviceable reference books, with the publisher and price, has been prefixed.

AN OUTLINE OF ENGLISH HISTORY

12mo, cloth, xii + 122 pages, 50 cents

Especially arranged for use with Cheyney's "Short History of England" as a text-book and the "Readings in English History" as collateral reference. It is built upon the same lines as the author's "Syllabus for the History of Western Europe," described above, and is arranged in sections and subdivisions, there being ninety topics in all.

The book is admirably adapted for either short or long courses in English history, and, with its clear analysis of leading movements and suggestive review questions, should be a welcome aid in the teaching of the subject.
