history, that is seldom possible, and if wisely directed will serve the general aims of historical study to a gratifying degree.

The overworked secondary teacher may well ask where the time for this is to come from. Specialists have emphasized phases of the course in American history, each of which would more than fill the recitation periods of a year to the exclusion of all others. The necessary special reading of the conscientious teacher, not including current periodicals, is of appalling magnitude. The capacity of the student, to say nothing of his willingness, is limited. To add more to the program seems only to invite further intangible results from the secondary schools. Yet with all these factors in mind the writer urges that each year's work be marked by an endeavor to present some topics in extenso that have been comparatively neglected before. Whether this is carried out in class routine or not, it should be true of the teacher's own reading. The result will be a freshness in presentation that will benefit teacher and student alike. At the same time there should be a conscious attempt to present all topics in a broader setting. If the present article contributes in any way to that end, the writer is content.

SUGGESTED READINGS.-The general texts already mentioned are valuable for the whole nineteenth century, but especially suggestive for the Napoleonic wars. Henry Adams, "History of the United States" (nine volumes, Scribner's, New York, 1889-1891) is invaluable for the teacher. Mahan's "Sea Power in Its Relation to the War of 1812" (two volumes, Houghton, Boston, 1905) is very suggestive,

as is his companion volume, "Influence of Sea Power Upon the French Revolution" (two volumes, 1893). The accounts of the French Revolution are legion, but possibly that of Shailer Matthews (New York, 1901) and H. Morse Stephens (two volumes, Macmillan, 1886-1891) are as satisfactory as any. The new volume by H. E. Bourne (Century, New York, 1914) should not be overlooked. Of the multitude of biographies of Napoleon, Miss Tarbell's (McClure, New York, 1901) is popular, that by W. M. Sloane (Century, New York, 1896) sketchy but accompanied by attractive illustrations, and that of A. L. Fisher (London, 1912) the most satisfactory. Hunt's volume in the "Political History of England" and the succeeding volumes of the series are important for the teacher, as is the Cambridge Modern History." H. W. V. Temperly's 'George Canning" (Finch, London, 1905) will throw considerable light on the Monroe Doctrine (Cf. also "American Historical Review," XI, 779). A brief account of the influences producing this document is in F. J. Turner, "Rise of the New West" ("American Nation," XVI). The paper by W. S. Robertson in the Turner Essays (Longmans, New York, 1911) is important. The later volumes of the "Political History of England" and of the "Cambridge Modern History" should be consulted for the events of the midcentury and the Civil War. Hazen, "Europe in the Nineteenth Century (Holt, New York, 1910) is a most interesting survey of the period. J. McCarthy, "History of Our Own Times" (three volumes, 1880); Ashley's "Life of Lord Palmerston (1879), and Morley's "Gladstone " (three volumes, 1903) are valuable for the era of the Civil War. For the attitude of Russia during this struggle consult F. A. Golder, "The Russian Fleet and the Civil War" ("American Historical Review," July, 1915). The "Memoirs" of Carl Schurz (three volumes, McClure, New York) give a vivid picture of the German revolution of 1848 and subsequent emigration to the United States. For the best books of the present Great War, one should consult the lists in the "Nation" and the "Dial."
