From the discovery to the present day. By ALBERT BUSHNELL HART, LL.
D., Professor of History, Harvard University
These volumes correspond to the four subdivisions required by the
College Entrance Examination Board, and by the New York State Education
Department. Each volume is designed for one year's work. Each of the
writers is a trained historical scholar, familiar with the conditions
and needs of secondary schools.
¶ The effort has been to deal only with the things which are typical
and characteristic; to avoid names and details which have small
significance, in order to deal more justly with the forces which have
really directed and governed mankind. Especial attention is paid to
social history.
¶ The books are readable and teachable, and furnish brief but useful
sets of bibliographies and suggestive questions. No pains have been
spared by maps and pictures to furnish a significant and thorough body
of illustration.
