An Advanced History of England.
For use in Colleges and Upper Forms of Schools.
By Cyril Ransome, M.A., Professor of Modern History and
English Literature, Yorkshire College, Victoria University.

‘It will supply a want long felt in the educational world.... As to the plan of Mr. Ransome’s history, we think he has certainly carried out his aim of bringing out the prominence of leading events, by full treatment and condensing as much as possible the minor points.... The characters of leading personages are sketched with great fairness.’—Daily Chronicle.

‘The narrative is admirably arranged.... Professor Ransome commands an easy graphic style, which keeps the attention without running into verbiage. The book is well indexed, and some illustrations increase its usefulness.’—Yorkshire Post.

‘This is a trustworthy and serviceable manual, which will quite hold its own with the similar book published by Mr. Oman a few months ago.’—Glasgow Herald.

‘It is extremely practical and well arranged. The narrative flows easily, and the details are not too closely packed together.’—Guardian.

The Dark Ages, 476–918

By C. W. C. OMAN, M. A., Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford.

Forming Volume I. of Periods of European History.

‘Notwithstanding its modest scale, this volume (Period I.) will be valued by all historical students as supplying a real want in our historical literature, and supplying it well.... He paints on a small scale, it is true, but his touch is sure and his insight keen. For the accuracy of his facts his historical reputation is a sufficient guarantee.’—Times.

‘Though on a comparatively small scale, Mr. Oman’s sketch is complete and vivid. His insight and acumen in appreciating the bearing of events and in estimating the influence of personal character are particularly striking, whilst his pleasing and picturesque style makes the perusal of his work as enjoyable from the literary as it is instructive from the historical point of view.’—Glasgow Herald.

‘A high place must be assigned to the work of Mr. Oman.’—Oxford Magazine.

‘The publishers of these volumes of European History have taken in hand a task that is to be highly commended, since, we believe, there does not exist in English any series dealing continuously with such a subject, from the fall of the Roman Empire in the West down to our own century.... No better exponent of this era (Period I.), so full of difficulties and complications, could have been chosen.’—Journal of Education.

The Ascendancy of France, 1598–1715

By H. O. WAKEMAN, M.A., All Souls College, Oxford.

Forming Volume V. of Periods of European History.

‘Mr. Wakeman’s summary has an orderly sequence, and his narrative has clearness and coherence that must be accounted, in the circumstances, quite admirable.’—Saturday Review.

‘We are well pleased to accord to this volume (Period V.) the warm welcome which we have already given to the seventh and first volumes of this valuable series.’—Educational Times.

‘This work, which deals with Period V. in the series of books on Periods of European History, fully maintains the reputation of that admirable series, wherein a connected view of modern European history is attempted to be given.’—Daily Chronicle.

‘In giving us the fifth of the Periods of European History, Mr. Wakeman has produced an excellent sketch, both clear and concise.’—Oxford Magazine.

‘To the two volumes of this well-planned series which Mr. Oman and Mr. Stephens have respectively published, there now comes a third instalment, written by Mr. H. O. Wakeman, which is well worthy to stand side by side with its predecessors.... Mr. Wakeman’s book is a sound, able, and useful one, which will alike give help to the student, and attract the cultivated general reader.’—Manchester Guardian.

In Eight Volumes. Crown 8vo. With Maps and Plans.

PERIODS OF EUROPEAN HISTORY

General Editor—ARTHUR HASSALL, M.A.,
Student of Christ Church, Oxford.

The object of this series is to present in separate Volumes a comprehensive and trustworthy account of the general development of European History, and to deal fully and carefully with the more prominent events in each century.

The Volumes embody the results of the latest investigations, and contain references to and notes upon original and other sources of information.

It is believed that no such attempt to place the History of Europe in a comprehensive, detailed, and readable form before the English Public has yet been made, and it is hoped that the Series will form a valuable continuous History of Mediæval and Modern Europe.
