Make up your mind as to the number of conclusions to be drawn from the tables which you are capable of remembering—whether one, two, or more; resolve to remember those and to refer back to the tables for the others. BIBLIOGRAPHY As Gross, Sources, does not cover the modern period, the student in search of more extended bibliographical information than that given here must rely on less satisfactory guides. Cunningham, **Growth, will be the best for an advanced student; see the foot-notes and the bibliographical index. Traill’s **Social England contains less scholarly but perhaps more useful bibliographies on commerce and kindred topics. Some of the school manuals give classified references; Andrews’ *History can be especially recommended. Of the general works on English history in the period under consideration the following pay some consideration to commercial development, and those which are starred present information that is valuable and easily available: *Busch, Froude, Gardiner, Macaulay, Stanhope, *Lecky. If a single work is desired for collateral reading the best is Traill’s **Social England, to which I have in large part confined my references for topical reading. Cunningham, **Growth, is indispensable for this period; I assume that this book is in the hands of the teacher and that he will avail himself of the abundant material it offers for reading and written reports. Besides smaller books on English economic history, already mentioned, the following can be made useful: Hewins, **English trade; Seeley, *Expansion; Toynbee, Industrial revolution. Bourne, *English merchants, is useful; his English Seamen is unfortunately out of print. There is a considerable literature, however, on the war and merchant navy, especially in the sixteenth century (see references in Social England); and Lindsay and Cornewall-Jones cover the entire period. CHAPTER XXII ENGLAND: EXPORTS =238. Survey of topics to be considered in studying the development of English commerce.=—Such is the bare outline of the development of English commerce in the period preceding 1800. Two chapters will now be devoted to the discussion of facts which will fill in the outline and will explain the development. That the reader may follow more intelligently a survey will be given in this place of the topics to be considered, and their bearing on the general question.
