MACMILLAN'S LATEST TEXTS ON HISTORY

EUROPEAN HISTORY

AN OUTLINE OF ITS DEVELOPMENT

BY

GEORGE BURTON ADAMS

Professor of History in Yale University

8vo. Half Leather. 13 Maps. 125 Illustrations.
Price, $1.40

The book can be used, by following the text and the topics alone, for a one-year's course of study; and by using the references for additional study it is adapted to carry out the recommendation of the Committee of Seven of the American Historical Association, which was a two-year's course in European History, the dividing point to be at the reign of Charlemagne.

"The work represents the latest development in methods of historical instruction. In institutions whose library facilities will permit of its use, it cannot fail to become an ideal text-book.". Prof. CARL EVANS BOYD, Cornell College,

Mt. Vernon, la.

"Those who know Professor Adams's admirable' Growth of the French Nation' will find here the same lucidity and correctness of grasp. It is becoming more and more difficult to write a satisfactory general history, but I believe that Professor Adams has constructed the best one that is now in existence within the same scope. The references, maps, and topics make it possible to use this work as a basis for the intensive study of periods, a thing that can hardly be said of other general histories."— Prof. U. G. WEATHERLY, Indiana University, Bloomington, Ind.
