Movements in European History, written by Mr. Lawrence and published under the nom de plume Lawrence H. Davison, is in effect an elementary textbook on the history of continental Europe from the beginning of the Christian era to the unification of Germany. But it is more than that. To say that the book is alive, that it interprets rather than catalogues historical events, that it deals with these events frankly rather than cautiously, that it is written with spirit and can be read with pleasure, and, finally, to assert that nowhere about the book does one smell pedagogy, is to say in a variety of ways that Movements in European History is very much more than an elementary textbook.
The initial edition of this interesting item exists in two forms. The first is described above; the second differs from the first in that it has a light brown binding, all other points being identical. The initial printing was exhausted the first year, and the book was reprinted in 1922. Both first forms differ in several ways from the reprint, which has, on the verso of an undated title-page, a line of type as follows: First published 1921; reprinted 1922
At the time this note is written (late September, 1924) plans are on foot to reissue Movements with an epilogue and illustrations. The former will presumably bring the story of European history down to the present. In its new form, as in its old, the book will in England bear the imprint of the Oxford University Press.
The first American edition of Movements in European History will probably be published next spring, with Mr. Lawrence’s authorship acknowledged, by Thomas Seltzer, New York.
