Hart’s Essentials in American History

By ALBERT BUSHNELL HART, LL. D., Professor of History Harvard University

$1.50

The purpose of this volume is to present an adequate description of all essential things in the upbuilding of the country, and to supplement this by good illustrations and maps. Political geography, being the background of all historical knowledge, is made a special topic, while the development of government, foreign relations, the diplomatic adjustment of controversies, and social and economic conditions, have been duly emphasized. All sections of the Union, North, East, South, West, and Far West, receive fair treatment. Much attention is paid to the causes and results of our various wars, but only the most significant battles and campaigns have been described. The book aims to make distinct the character and public services of some great Americans, brief accounts of whose lives are given in special sections of the text. Towards the end a chapter sums up the services of America to mankind.

HAZEN’S EUROPE SINCE 1815

By CHARLES D. HAZEN, Professor in Smith College

(_American Historical Series._) xxvi + 830 pp. 8vo. [_Ready in May._]

The aim has been to make the narrative so interesting in style as to attract the student, without sacrificing accuracy or proportion. For the sake of impressiveness it has been necessary to concentrate attention upon a relatively small number of topics, but it is hoped that no important step in the development of modern Europe has been slighted. English history has been interwoven with continental history, and colonial development has received careful treatment. Great pains have been taken to make the bibliographical apparatus really useful to the undergraduate.

_A NEW SCHOOL HISTORY_

A History of the United States

By S. E. FORMAN, PH.D., Author of “Advanced Civics,” etc.

Ready in May, 1910, and published by The Century Co.

◖ Teachers of American history, who are looking for the best text-book for their classes, are invited to examine this new work of Dr. Forman’s. They will find that it excels:

1 In the method of unfolding the story of OUR COUNTRY’S GROWTH

The pupils have before them the story of an ever-growing nation, and step by step they follow its upbuilding from small beginnings to its present great proportions.

2 In the special prominence given to the progress of THE WESTWARD MOVEMENT

The story of the marvelous growth of the Middle West, and of the States further West, is told, it is believed, with greater fullness than in any previous school history. The student will see that the greatness of our history is due as much to the Western States as to those on the Atlantic seaboard.

3 In the treatment of THE BIOGRAPHICAL ELEMENT

The great leaders of our country stand out as real and interesting personalities, because the author writes their lives into the main body of the text.

4 In the account given of our COMMERCIAL, INDUSTRIAL AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT

Throughout the book frequent surveys are made of American civilization as it existed at successive stages, and in these surveys the pupil learns how we have passed from the simple life of the seventeenth century to the complex life of to-day.

5 In the material provided for THE TEACHERS’ ASSISTANCE

At the end of the chapters are carefully framed questions on the text, with review questions that keep constantly in mind the points that have been gone over, and with topics for special reading and special references. In the appendix are comprehensive outlines and analytical reviews.

6 In the fullness and richness of ITS MAPS AND ILLUSTRATIONS

Entirely new maps have been made for the book, and the illustrations have been selected from authentic sources. Many of the pictures are illustrative of Western life in the early days.

7 In the CLEARNESS AND INTEREST OF ITS STYLE

No student can fail to be attracted by the manner in which the story is told. The style is simple--sometimes almost colloquial--but never undignified. Every paragraph in the book is interesting.

More than 400 pages, strongly bound in half leather. Price, $1.00 net.

Superintendents, teachers, and others interested are invited to send for further particulars.
