It is now generally recognized among teachers of history that the text-book should be supplemented by collateral reading. Professor Robinson's "Readings" will supply a need that has long been felt by those dealing with the general history of Europe. For each chapter of his text he furnishes from twenty to thirty pages of extracts, mainly from vivid, first-hand accounts of the persons, events, and institutions discussed in his manual. In this way the statements in the text-book may be amplified and given added interest and vividness. He has drawn upon the greatest variety of material, much of which has never before found its way into English.
The extensive and carefully classified bibliographies which accompany each chapter embody the results of careful criticism and selection. They are carefully arranged to meet the needs of students of all grades, from the high-school pupil to one engaged in advanced graduate work.
Volume I corresponds to Chapters I-XXII of the author's "History of Western Europe," and closes with an account of the Italian cities during the Renaissance. Volume II begins with Europe at the opening of the sixteenth century. The Abridged Edition is intended especially for high schools.
