OGG’S SOURCE BOOK OF MEDIÆVAL HISTORY

Edited by Frederic Austin Ogg, A.M., Assistant in History, Harvard University, and Instructor in Simmons College. $1.50

A collection of documents illustrative of European life and institutions from the German invasions to the Renaissance. Great discrimination has been exercised in the selection and arrangement of these sources, which are intended to be used in connection with the study of mediæval history, either in secondary schools, or in the earlier years of college. Throughout the controlling thought has been to present only those selections which are of real value and of genuine interest. This book can be used to very great advantage in connection with Harding’s Mediæval History.
