=THE AGE OF ANNE.= By EDWARD E. MORRIS, M.A.
“The author’s arrangement of the material is remarkably clear, his
selection and adjustment of the facts judicious, his historical
judgment fair and candid, while the style wins by its simple
elegance.”--_Chicago Standard._

Watchman._
=THE EARLY HANOVERIANS--Europe from the Peace of Utrecht to the Peace
of Aix-la-Chapelle.= By EDWARD E. MORRIS, M.A.

is a delight to read at odd moments; which are broad and suggestive,
and at the same time condensed in treatment.”--_Christian Advocate._
“A remarkably clear and readable summary of the salient points of
interest. The maps and tables, no less than the author’s style and
treatment of the subject, entitle the volume to the highest claims of
recognition.”--_Boston Daily Advertiser._

which is both scholarly and entertaining.”--_The Churchman._

With Appendix by ANDREW D. WHITE, LL.D., ex-President of Cornell

here one which is brief enough to be easily run through with, and yet
particular enough to make entertaining reading.”--_New York Evening
Post._
“The author has well accomplished his difficult task of sketching in
miniature the grand and crowded drama of the French Revolution and
the Napoleonic Empire, showing himself to be no servile compiler,
but capable of judicious and independent criticism.”--_Springfield
Republican._
=THE EPOCH OF REFORM--1830-1850.= By JUSTIN MCCARTHY.
“Mr. McCarthy knows the period of which he writes thoroughly,
and the result is a narrative that is at once entertaining and
trustworthy.”--_New York Examiner._
“The narrative is clear and comprehensive, and told with abundant
knowledge and grasp of the subject.”--_Boston Courier._
IMPORTANT HISTORICAL WORKS.
=CIVILIZATION DURING THE MIDDLE AGES. Especially in its Relation to
Modern Civilization.= By GEORGE B. ADAMS, Professor of History in
Yale University. 8vo, $2.50.
Professor Adams has here supplied the need of a text-book for the study
of Mediæval History in college classes at once thorough and yet capable
of being handled in the time usually allowed to it. He has aimed to
treat the subject in a manner which its place in the college curriculum
demands, by presenting as clear a view as possible of the underlying
and organic growth of our civilization, how its foundations were laid
and its chief elements introduced.
