“We have long needed a simple compendium of this period, and we have here one which is brief enough to be easily run through with, and yet particular enough to make entertaining reading.”—New York Evening Post.
“The author has well accomplished his difficult task of sketching in miniature the grand and crowded drama of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Empire, showing himself to be no servile compiler, but capable of judicious and independent criticism.”—Springfield Republican.

IMPORTANT HISTORICAL WORKS.
CIVILIZATION DURING THE MIDDLE AGES. Especially in its Relation to Modern Civilization. By George B. Adams, Professor of History in Yale University. 8vo, $2.50.
Professor Adams has here supplied the need of a text-book for the study of Mediæval History in college classes at once thorough and yet capable of being handled in the time usually allowed to it. He has aimed to treat the subject in a manner which its place in the college curriculum demands, by presenting as clear a view as possible of the underlying and organic growth of our civilization, how its foundations were laid and its chief elements introduced.
Prof. Kendric C. Babcock, University of Minnesota:—“It is one of the best books of the kind which I have seen. We shall use it the coming term.”
Prof. Marshall S. Brown, Michigan University:—“I regard the work as a very valuable treatment of the great movements of history during the Middle Ages, and as one destined to be extremely helpful to young students.”
