+Boston Advertiser+: Teachers and students of German owe a debt of
thanks to the editor.
+The Beacon+, _Boston_: A capital book for beginners. The editor has
done his work remarkably well.
_Hauff’s Märchen: Das Kalte Herz._
+G. H. Horswell+, _Prof. of Modern Languages, Northwestern Univ.

scholarship and judicious annotation. I shall use it in my classes
next term.
+The Academy+, _Syracuse, N.Y._: The notes seem unusually well
prepared.

previously seen. Any book so well made must soon have many friends
among teachers and students.

consistency.
+Alf. Hennequin+, _Dept. of Mod. Langs., University of Michigan_:
The method is thoroughly practical, and quite original. The book
will be used by me in the University.

_HISTORY._
Students and Teachers of History will find the following to be
invaluable aids:--
_Studies in General History._
(1000 B.C. to 1880 A.D.) _An Application of the Scientific Method to
the Teaching of History._ BY MARY D. SHELDON, formerly Professor of
History in Wellesley College. This book has been prepared in order
that the general student may share in the advantages of the Seminary
Method of Instruction. It is a collection of historic material,
interspersed with problems whose answers the student must work out
for himself from original historical data. In this way he is trained
to deal with the original historical data of his own time. In short,
it may be termed _an exercise book in history and politics_. Price
by mail, $1.75.
+THE TEACHER’S MANUAL+ contains the continuous statement of the
results which should be gained from the History, and embodies the
teacher’s part of the work, being made up of summaries,
explanations, and suggestions for essays and examinations. Price by
mail, 85 cents.
_Sheldon’s Studies in Greek and Roman History._
Meets the needs of students preparing for college, of schools in
which Ancient History takes the place of General History, and of
students who have used an ordinary manual, and wish to make a
spirited and helpful review. Price by mail, $1.10.
_Methods of Teaching and Studying History._
