All serious students of history should have access to the American
Historical Review (N. Y., 1895 to date, quarterly, $4.00 a year). This
journal, the organ of the American Historical Association, contains
articles by scholars, critical reviews of all important works, and notes
and news. The History Teacher's Magazine is edited under the supervision
of a committee of the American Historical Association (Philadelphia, 1909
to date, monthly, $2.00 a year). Every well-equipped school library should
contain the files of the National Geographic Magazine (Washington, 1890
to date, monthly, $2.00 a year) and of Art and Archeology (Washington,
1914 to date, monthly, $3.00 a year). These two periodicals make a special
feature of illustrations.
WORKS ON THE STUDY AND TEACHING OF HISTORY
Useful books for the teacher's library include H. E. Bourne, The Teaching
of History and Civics in the Elementary and the Secondary School (N. Y.,
1902, Longmans, Green, and Co., $1.50), Henry Johnson, The Teaching of
History (N. Y., 1915, Macmillan, $1.40), H. B. George, Historical

of History and Geography (4th ed., N. Y., 1910, Oxford University Press,
American Branch, $1.10). The following reports are indispensable:

Association by the Committee of Seven (N. Y., 1899, Macmillan, 50 cents).

Historical Association by a Committee of Five (N. Y., 1911, Macmillan, 25

DICTIONARIES AND ENCYCLOPEDIAS
The most useful dictionaries of classical antiquities are H. B. Walters,
A Classical Dictionary (N. Y., 1916, Putnam, $6.50) and H. T. Peck,
Harper's Dictionary of Classical Literature and Antiquities (N. Y.,
1897, American Book Co., $6.00). Cambridge University, England, has
published A Companion to Greek Studies, edited by L. Whibley (2d ed., N.
Y., 1906, Putnam, $6.00), and A Companion to Latin Studies, edited by J.
E. Sandys (N. Y., 1911, Putnam, $6.00). These two volumes treat every
phase of ancient life in separate essays by distinguished scholars. For
chronology, genealogies, lists of sovereigns, and other data the most
valuable works are Arthur Hassall, European History, 476-1910 (new ed.,
N. Y., 1910, Macmillan, $2.25), G. P. Putnam, Tabular Views of Universal
History (new ed., N. Y., 1915, Putnam, $2.50), and Karl J. Ploetz, A
Handbook of Universal History, translated by W. H. Tillinghast (Boston,
1915, Houghton Mifflin Co., $3.00).
The Illustrated Topics for Ancient History, arranged by D. C. Knowlton
(Philadelphia, McKinley Publishing Co., 65 cents), contain much valuable
material in the shape of a syllabus, source quotations, outline maps,
pictures, and other aids. The following syllabi have been prepared for
collegiate instruction:
Botsford, G. W. A Syllabus of Roman History (N. Y., 1915, Macmillan, 50
cents).
Munro, D. C., and SELLERY, G. C. A Syllabus of Medieval History, 395-
1500 (N. Y., 1913, Longmans, Green, and Co., $1.00).
Richardson, O. H. Syllabus of Continental European History from the Fall
of Rome to 1870 (Boston, 1904, Ginn, boards, 75 cents).
Stephenson, Andrew. Syllabus of Lectures on European History (Terre
Haute, Ind., 1897, Inland Publishing Co., $1.50).
Thompson, J. W. Reference Studies in Medieval History (2d ed., Chicago,
1914, University of Chicago Press, $1.25). A rich collection of classified
references.
ATLASES
An admirable collection of maps for school use is W. R. Shepherd,
Historical Atlas (N. Y., 1911, Holt, $2.50), with about two hundred and
fifty maps covering the historical field. The latest and one of the best
of the classical atlases is Murray's Small Classical Atlas, edited by G.
B. Grundy (N. Y., 1904, Oxford University Press, American Branch, $1.35).
A special feature of this work is the adoption of the system of colored
contours to indicate configuration. The Atlas of Ancient and Classical
Geography in "Everyman's Library" (N. Y., 1910, Dutton, 35 cents) might
well be purchased by every student. Other valuable works are E. W. Dow,
Atlas of European History (N. Y., 1907, Holt, $1.50) and Ramsay Muir, A
New School Atlas of Modern History (N. Y., 1911, Holt, $1.25). Much use
can be made of the inexpensive and handy Literary and Historical Atlas of
Europe by J. G. Bartholomew in "Everyman's Library" (N. Y., 1910, Dutton,
35 cents).
WALL MAPS AND CHARTS
Kiepert's New Wall Maps of Ancient History (Chicago, Rand, McNally, and
Co.) and Johnston's Classical Series (Chicago, A. J. Nystrom and Co.)
may be obtained singly, mounted on common rollers, or by sets in a case
with spring rollers. The text is in Latin. The Spruner-Bretschneider
Historical Maps are ten in number, size 62 x 52 inches, and cover the
period from A.D. 350 to 1815. The text is in German (Chicago, Nystrom,
each $6.00; Rand, McNally, and Co., each $6.50). Johnston's Maps of
English and European History are sixteen in number, size 40 x 30 inches,
and include four maps of ancient history (Chicago, Nystrom, each $2.50). A
new series of European History Maps, thirty-nine in number, size 44 x 32
inches, has been prepared for the study of ancient history by Professors
J. H. Breasted and C. F. Huth, and for medieval and modern history by
Professor S. B. Harding (Chicago, Denoyer-Geppert Co., complete set with
tripod stand, $52.00; in two spring roller cases, $73.00). These maps may
also be had separately. The maps in this admirable series omit all
irrelevant detail, present place names in the modern English form, and in
choice of subject matter emphasize the American viewpoint. The school
should also possess good physical wall maps such as the Sydow-Habenicht or
the Kiepert series, both to be obtained from Rand, McNally, and Co. The
text is in German. Phillips's Model Test Maps and Johnston's New Series
of Physical Wall Maps are obtainable from A. J. Nystrom and Co. The only
large charts available are those prepared by MacCoun for his Historical
Geography Charts of Europe. The two sections, "Ancient and Classical" and
"Medieval and Modern," are sold separately (N. Y., Silver, Burdett, and
Co., $15.00). A helpful series of Blackboard Outline Maps is issued by
J. L. Engle, Beaver, Penn. These are wall maps, printed with paint on
blackboard cloth, for use with an ordinary crayon. Such maps are also sold
by the Denoyer-Geppert Co., Chicago.
OUTLINE MAPS
The "Studies" following each chapter of this book include various
exercises for which small outline maps are required. Such maps are sold by
D. C. Heath and Co., Boston, New York, Chicago. Useful atlases of outline
maps are also to be had of the McKinley Publishing Co., Philadelphia,
Atkinson, Mentzer and Grover, Chicago, W. B. Harison, New York City, and
of other publishers.
ILLUSTRATIONS
The best photographs of ancient works of art must usually be obtained from
the foreign publishers in Naples, Florence, Rome, Munich, Paris, Athens,
and London, or from their American agents. Such photographs, in the usual
size, 8 x 10 inches, sell, unmounted, at from 6 to 8 francs a dozen. All
dealers in lantern slides issue descriptive catalogues of a great variety
of archaeological subjects. In addition to photographs and lantern slides,
a collection of stereoscopic views is very helpful in giving vividness and
interest to instruction in ancient history. An admirable series of
photographs for the stereoscope, including Egypt, Palestine, Greece, and
Italy, is issued by Underwood and Underwood, New York City. The same firm
supplies convenient maps and handbooks for use in this connection. The
Keystone stereographs, prepared by the Keystone View Company, Meadville,
Penn., may also be cordially recommended. The architecture, costumes,
amusements, and occupations of the Middle Ages in England are shown in
Longmans' Historical Illustrations (six portfolios, each containing
twelve plates in black-and-white, Longmans, Green, and Co., 90 cents, each
portfolio). The same firm issues Longmans' Historical Wall Pictures,
consisting of twelve colored pictures from original paintings illustrating
English history (each picture, separately, 80 cents; in a portfolio,
$10.50). Other notable collections are Lehmann's Geographical Pictures,
Historical Pictures, and Types of Nations, and Cybulski's Historical
Pictures (Chicago, Denoyer-Geppert Co.; each picture separately mounted
on rollers, $1.35 to $2.25). The New England History Teachers' Association
publishes a series of Authentic Pictures for Class Room Use, size 5 x 8
inches, price 3 cents each. The Catalogue of the Collection of Historical
Material at Simmons College, prepared by the New England History
Teachers' Association (2d ed., Boston, 1912, Houghton Mifflin Co., 25
cents), contains an extensive list of pictures, slides, models, and other
aids to history teaching. Among the more useful collections in book form
of photographic reproductions and drawings are the following:

Cassirer, 12 marks). 156 plates of Egyptian sculpture.

than the reading of modern books of travel. Among these may be mentioned:
