uch more accurately. Further, the book is not only clear; the boy can not only read it without an uncomfortable sense that he is losing his way in a labyrinth, but he can read it with positive pleasure. It is a book, too, that will keep, and that one would like to keep; a great quality this in a school-book." --William A. Lamberton, _University of Pennsylvania_. (In the _Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science_.) EUROPEAN HISTORY An Outline of its Development By *GEORGE BURTON ADAMS* _Yale University, New Haven, Conn._ 8vo. Half Leather. $1.40 "I think the Adams 'European History' is the best single-volume text-book in general European history by an American author. In style and illustration it is interesting; its well-chosen references contribute to develop the students' taste for historical reading; and its suggestive questions, etc., are most helpful to the teacher." --Professor W. H. Siebert, _Ohio State University_, Columbus, Ohio. THE GROWTH OF THE FRENCH NATION By *GEORGE BURTON ADAMS* _Author of "European History," etc._ 12mo. Cloth. $1.25 "Mr. Adams has dealt in a fascinating way with the chief features of the Middle Age, and his book is rendered the more attractive by some excellent illustrations. He traces the history of France from the conquests by the Romans and Franks down to the presidency of M. Felix Faure, and has always something to say that is clear and to the point; Mr. Adams seems to us to have seized the salient features of the _growth_ of the French nation, and to have fulfilled the promise of his title."--_Educational Review._ A STUDENT'S HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES By *EDWARD CHANNING* _Professor of History, Harvard University_ With Suggestions to Teachers by Anna Boynton Thompson, _Thayer Academy, South Braintree, Mass._ 8vo. Half Leather. $1.40 "Your book has given us good satisfaction. It is the best school history I know of to give the student a clear conception of the origin and the development of our institutions. It presents to him lucidly and forcefully the questions which have been either the sectional or the party issues of the past; it portrays in a singularly felicitous manner our wonderful growth in population and resources."--M. B. Price, _Worcester Academy_, Worcester, Mass. A SHORT HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES For School Use By *EDWAR
