n the last section, we have C. A. FYFFE'S _History of Modern Europe, 1792-1878_ (ed. 1895), a very readable book, which includes the results of some original study, and SEIGNOBOS, _Political History of Contemporary Europe_, English translation (2 vols., 1901), an useful but not always accurate book. The great French work, _Histoire generale du IVe Siecle a nos jours_ (vols. ix., x., 1897-1898), by numerous authors, edited by MM. Lavisse and Rambaud, is naturally of varying merit; the chapters on France and Russia are the best, and there is a very full bibliography at the close of each chapter. The _Cambridge Modern History_, vol. ix., _Napoleon_ (1906), is a similar compilation by English writers. ALFRED STERN'S _Geschichte Europas seit den Vertraegen von 1815_ (3 vols., 1894-1901, to be continued to 1871) is perhaps the best general history of the period following the great war. _The Memoirs of Prince Metternich_ (5 vols., English translation, 1881-1882, edited by Prince Richard Metternich, extending to 1835) contain much that is valuable for diplomatic history. For French history see DUVERGIER DE HAURANNE, _Histoire du gouvernement parlementaire en France_ (1814-1848, 10 vols., 1857-1872), which, in spite of the title, does not extend beyond 1830. For the Greek revolt, vols. vi. and vii. of G. FINLAY'S _History of Greece_ (7 vols., ed. 1877) are important. American policy is treated by J. W. FOSTER, _A Century of American Diplomacy_ (1901). Sir EDWARD HERTSLET'S _Map of Europe by Treaty_ (4 vols., 1875-1891), while professedly confined to the treaties dealing with boundaries, contains the majority of those of general historical interest. It covers the period 1815-1891. LE COMTE DE GARDEN, _Histoire generale des traites de paix_ (14 vols., 1848-1888, vols. vi.-xv., extending to 1814), and F. DE MARTENS, _Recueil des traites et conventions, conclus par la Russie_ (tomes xi., xii. (Angleterre), 1895-1898), contain the principal treaties belonging to the period. The _Castlereagh_ and _Wellington_ _Despatches_ have been noticed under section 3. (7) For Indian history: JAMES MILL and WILSON, _History of British India_ (10 vols., 1858), vols. vi.-ix., noticed as an authority for volume x., ends in 1835; Sir ALFRED C. LYALL'S _Rise and Expansion of the British Dominion in India_ (1894) contains a brief and masterly sketch of the subject.
