“Allow me to congratulate you on the quality of your first number of THE HISTORY TEACHER’S MAGAZINE.... I am specially delighted to see the simplicity of style in all the articles. It seems to me that a reader wholly untrained in history ought to be able to follow each article with comparative ease. Most of the articles might have been written so that none but specialists would appreciate them.” S. A. D. Editor HISTORY TEACHER’S MAGAZINE. “I notice in your magazine an account of the translations and reprints from the series of European history covering the period from the Roman times to the nineteenth century. Do you know of any work similar to this covering the period of Ancient History?” M. C. S. ANS.--There are two good source books on Ancient History published by D. C. Heath & Co., entitled Munro’s “Source Book of Roman History” and Fling’s “Source Book of Greek History.” Editor HISTORY TEACHER’S MAGAZINE. “Will you kindly give the publisher of Cheyney’s ‘European Background of American History’ and Farrand’s ‘Basis of American History?’” L. B. M. ANS.--Cheyney’s work is Vol. I in Hart’s “American Nation”; Farrand’s is Vol. II in the same series. The work is published by Harpers, and the volumes can be bought separately. Editor HISTORY TEACHER’S MAGAZINE. “Can you refer me to a short work giving an account of the migrations of the barbarians?” ANS.--The writer knows of no primer or handbook upon the barbarian invasions. One of the best of the accounts is that in Emerton’s “Introduction to the Middle Ages.” Shorter, but very good, is the chapter in Robinson’s “Introduction to the History of Western Europe.” More detailed accounts, with other matter interspersed, will be found in Hodgkin’s “Dynasty of Theodosius,” and in Oman’s “The Dark Ages.” Extended accounts will, of course, be found in Sargeant’s “The Franks,” Hodgkin’s “Theodoric,” Valari’s “Barbarian Invaders of Italy,” Hodgkin’s “Italy and Her Invaders,” and in Bury’s “Later Roman Empire” and his edition of Gibbon. There is a short work by Rev. William H. Hutton entitled “The Church and the Barbarians.” An excellent word picture of the invasions is to be found in Freytag’s “Bilder aus dem Mittelalter.” Editor HISTORY TEACHER’S MAGAZINE. “I was interested in your HISTORY TEACHER’S MAGAZINE and will hand it to our history teacher. I write asking you to recommend some periodicals for English teachers of a similar nature.” ANS.--We know of no periodical for English teachers exactly similar to our own. The following magazines are largely devoted to research rather than to practical methods of teaching English: “Modern Language Notes,” Baltimore, Md., eight months a year, $1.50 a year; “Modern Philology,” University of Chicago Press, quarterly; $3.00 a year; “Modern Language Review,” Cambridge, England, 12 shillings, 6 pence; “Publications of the Modern Language Association of America,” Cambridge, Mass. * * * * * QUALITY PRINTING
