Readings in American Government and Politics

[blocks in formation]

The success which has been attained by the source-book method of study has induced Professor Beard to issue the present volume, in which are contained all those documents and original sources to which constant reference is made by instructors in American government. The author has experienced in his own teaching no small degree of inconvenience on account of the necessity of making constant citations of material to be studied in various volumes. He has, therefore, issued the present collection of readings in order that specific references to the source-book may be cited in every instance in the accompanying text-book.

An Introduction to the English Historians

Cloth 12m0

$1.60 net

A brief course in English history should introduce the student to the authorities on special topics and periods who should be studied with care. To solve this problem in part, Dr. Beard has prepared this handy volume of extracts chosen from Stubbs, Freeman, Gardiner, Green, Hallam, Lecky, Macaulay, and other English historians of note. To each extract is added a short biographical note designed to introduce the student to the materials on which to base a critical appreciation of the author's views.

"Dr. Beard's 'Introduction to the English Historians'- both from the pedagogical and the research points of view— deserves unqualified commendation. It is intelligently discriminating in its selections, liberal and mature in its comment, and in its arrangement it shows the results of thorough scholarship and fruitful class-room experience. It should save both teachers and students of English history a vast amount of time and labor.". The Independent.

"The study of English history is indispensable to any intelligent discussion of our own relation to the political conditions of the world as it is and as it is likely or liable to be. In such a study as the times demand, an endless amount of time goes to useless research work. Hence this book with six hundred pages of readings from the masters in English historical writings. This is a service to scholarship which will be appreciated by any one who but glances through its pages. Great credit is due Dr. Beard for this service."-Journal of Education.
