"READINGS IN MODERN EUROPEAN HISTORY" aims to stimulate the student to real thought and interest in his work by bringing him right to the sources of historical knowledge and enabling him to see the very words of those who, writing when the past was present, can carry him back to themselves and make their times his own. In this way the book offers the proper background and atmosphere for "The Development of Modern Europe," by the same authors, which it accompanies chapter by chapter and section by section.

Bibliographies provided in the Appendix start the student on the path to a really thorough study of the field.

A goodly number of the readings in this volume are of the constitutional kind which merit and richly reward careful study. A still larger number are of the interesting and lively kind which charm and entertain, and which are valuable because they give the flavor of the olden times. The bibliography is no mere list of unappreciated titles, but an excellent critical classification which guides the student quickly on to the fundamental works.—Sidney B. Fay, Assistant Professor of History, Dartmouth College, in The American Historical Review.
