Note 3 — CH. V. LANGLOIS & CH. SEIGNOBOS

The history of the attempts which have been made to understand and explain philosophically the history of humanity has been undertaken, as is well known, by Robert Flint. Mr. Flint has already given the history of the Philosophy of History in French-speaking countries: "Historical Philosophy in France and French Belgium and Switzerland," Edinburgh and London, 1893, 8vo. It is the first volume of the expanded re-edition of his "History of the Philosophy of History in Europe," published twenty-five years ago. Compare the retrospective (or historical) part of the work of N. Marselli, La scienza della storia, i., Torino, 1873. The most important original work which has appeared in France since the publication of the analytical repertory of R. Flint is that of P. Lacombe, De l'histoire considérée comme science, Paris, 1894, 8vo. Cf. Revue Critique, 1895, i. p. 132.
