Literature.
Out of the great mass of material on this subject mention might be made of the following: Seignobos, Europe since 1814, Chaps. XI and XXVII (one of the best accounts); Judson, Europe in the Nineteenth Century, Part II, Chap. X, and Part III, Chap. XIV (clear and interesting); Phillips, Modern Europe, Chap. XV; Cesaresco, Liberation of Italy; Cesaresco, Cavour; and Stillman, Union of Italy, 1815-1895. The two authors last mentioned represent somewhat different points of view. The Countess Cesaresco waxes eloquent as she unfolds her story. Stillman is inclined to take a less roseate view of the manner and means whereby Italy won her place among the nations. Marriott, “Makers of Modern Italy,” will also be found very helpful and suggestive. The list might be increased materially, but the books which have been cited will not only be found helpful, but may readily be secured from most libraries.
