"The book gives an instructive account of the attempts made to correlate
the subjects of school instruction, not only with each other, but also
with the children's pursuits out of school hours.... The problem
Professor Findlay has set himself to work out in the Demonstration
School is, How far is it possible by working with the children through
successive culture epochs of the human race to form within their minds
not only a truer conception of human history, but also eventually a
deeper comprehension of the underlying purpose and oneness of all human
activities?"--_Morning Post_.

"We cordially recommend this most workmanlike, and extremely valuable
addition to pedagogic literature."--_Education_.

of history-teaching in girls' schools, but the real contribution of this
book is its revelation of how the history lesson can be made a living
thing."--_Glasgow Herald_.

historical teaching in Germany."--_School World_.
ENGLISH SERIES
No. I. THE LITERARY PROFESSION IN THE ELIZABETHAN AGE. By PH. SHEAVYN,
M.A., D.Lit., Special Lecturer in English Literature and Tutor for
Women Students; Warden of the Hall of Residence for Women Students.
A series of brief studies dealing with the conditions amidst which the
profession of literature was pursued under Elizabeth and James I. It
treats of their relations with patrons, publishers, and reading public,
and with various authorities exercising legal control over the press;
and discusses the possibility of earning a sufficient livelihood, in
this period, by the proceeds of literary work. Pp. xii. 221. 5s. net.
(Publication No. 49, 1909.)
"... scholarly and illuminating book. It opens a new series in the
Manchester University publications, and opens it with distinction. A
more elaborately documented or more carefully indexed work need not be
desired. The subject is an engrossing one; and, although the author has
aimed rather at accuracy and completeness than at the arts of
entertainment, the result remains eminently readable."--_Manchester
Guardian_.
"A really valuable addition to the literature dealing with the
period."--_Daily Telegraph_.
"Quite interesting to the general literary reader as well as to the
special student for whom, perhaps, it is directly meant. We are always
ready to read of the Elizabethan age in authorship, and it loses none of
its attractions in Miss Sheavyn's hands."--_Daily Chronicle_.
"A series of studies that will be valuable to everyone interested in the
history of literature."--_Daily Mail_.
