Newton and Treat’s Outlines for Review in History

By CHARLES BERTRAM NEWTON, A.B., Head of the Department of History in Lawrenceville School, and EDWARD BRYANT TREAT, A.M., Master in Lawrenceville School.

AMERICAN HISTORY ENGLISH HISTORY GREEK HISTORY ROMAN HISTORY

Price, each, 25 cents

These Outlines in History aid the teacher in bringing out the subject as a whole, and in so focusing it as to make the picture clear-cut and vivid in the pupil’s mind. By their use the prominent figures and the smaller details, the multitude of memories and impressions, will be fixed and established in their proper perspective. In each booklet are given brief summaries in chronological order of the leading facts and events, and throughout ease of reference has been considered of prime importance in the presentation of the matter. In the index, battles, laws and wars are grouped chronologically under those headings, and also in regular alphabetical order. Near the end of each volume are given fifty typical questions, selected from the recent examinations set for admission to leading colleges, which are intended for practice in the art of formulating answers.
