BIBLIOGRAPHY
Reference may be made at this point to C. K. Adams, Manual of
historical literature, third ed., N. Y., Harper [1888], as a
bibliographical aid which is far from answering modern requirements,
but which may still be of use to a teacher in handling such
collections of books as may be found in a city library. A bibliography
of Spanish history in the sixteenth century is appended to Cambridge
Mod. Hist., vol. 1, chap. 11, and is continued in later volumes. A
bibliography is given also in Martin A. S. Hume, The Spanish people,
N. Y., 1901, a book which covers Spanish history from the earliest to
present times, and which pays some attention to social history.
Of general books on Spanish history, Prescott, Motley, etc., may still
be put to good use. Attention should, however, be especially directed
to the writings of *H. C. Lea, which contain valuable social and
economic, material. A useful paper by Bernard Moses, **The economic
condition of Spain in the sixteenth century, has been published both
in the Journal of Polit. Econ., Chicago, 1892-3, vol. 1, pp. 513-534,
and in Report of Amer. Hist. Assoc., 1893, Washington, 1894, pp.
123-133. The Story of Spain in the Story of the Nations series is of
no value for our purposes.
On the colonial history and policy of Spain the student has
several excellent books: E. G. Bourne, **Spain in America (with
bibliography); Häbler, **The colonial kingdom of Spain, in H.
Helmolt, Hist. of the World, vol. 1, pp. 386-422, N. Y., Dodd, Mead &
Co., 1902; Roscher, ** The Spanish colonial system, N. Y., Holt, 1904,
Moses, *The establishment of Spanish rule in America, N. Y., Putnam,
1898.
