"Dr. Botsford's ideal is a high one, and he has spared no pains to realize it. He has everywhere given a foremost place to the social, political, literary, and artistic sides of Greek civilization, and set them forth in adequate detail; while in the manifold wars amongst themselves and with the common foe he has been careful to give just enough to make the course of events clear and to put the causes and meaning of the conflicts in a proper light. He has told his tale in a straightforward simple style that must prove taking to the mind of the schoolboy; and he has from time to time worked in translations from passages of the ancient Greek authors, poets, historians, and orators alike. This gives one the feeling that we are listening to the Greeks telling their own story; we get the events and conditions from their point of view and can appreciate them so much more accurately. Further, the book is not only clear; the boy can not only read it without an uncomfortable sense that he is losing his way in a labyrinth, but he can read it with positive pleasure. It is a book, too, that will keep, and that one would like to keep; a great quality this in a school-book." --William A. Lamberton, _University of Pennsylvania_.

Half Leather. $1.40 "I think the Adams 'European History' is the best single-volume text-book in general European history by an American author. In style and illustration it is interesting; its well-chosen references contribute to develop the students' taste for historical reading; and its suggestive questions, etc., are most helpful to the teacher." --Professor W. H. Siebert, _Ohio State University_, Columbus, Ohio. THE GROWTH OF THE FRENCH NATION By *GEORGE BURTON ADAMS* _Author of "European History," etc._ 12mo. Cloth. $1.25 "Mr. Adams has dealt in a fascinating way with the chief features of the Middle Age, and his book is rendered the more attractive by some excellent illustrations. He traces the history of France from the conquests by the Romans and Franks down to the presidency of M. Felix Faure, and has always something to say that is clear and to the point; Mr. Adams seems to us to have seized the salient features of the _growth_ of the French nation, and to have fulfilled the promise of his title."--_Educational Review._ A STUDENT'S HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES By *EDWARD CHANNING* _Professor of History, Harvard University_ With Suggestions to Teachers by Anna Boynton Thompson, _Thayer Academy, South Braintree, Mass._ 8vo. Half Leather. $1.40
