HISTORY. 



Ferguson, W. S., University of California, Berkeley, California. Grant 

 No. 338. A History of Athens from Demosthenes to Plutarch. (For

This work has been continued in various European libraries during the 

 winter of 1906-7, and in the library of Harvard University during the fol- 

 lowing spring and summer. The results of four special investigations con- 

 ducted in its interest have been printed in Classical Philology and in Klio, 

 Beitrage zur alten Geschichte, while two additional articles are in prepara- 

 tion and the preliminary study referred to in last year's report has been 

 revised and reprinted. The manuscript of the work proper lacks of com- 

 pletion only the introductory chapter. It will be ready for the press at the 

 end of the year and will make a volume of approximately 400 pages. 



Haskins, Charles H., Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts. Grant 

 No. 416. Study of the documentary materials for Anglo-Norman his- 

 tory. (For previous reports see Year Book No. 4, p. 238, and Year 

 Book No. 5, p. 202.) $1,000. 



The exploration of archives in Normandy and Paris was continued by Pro- 

 fessor Haskins during the past summer, and some portions of the work will 

 be carried on by searchers and copyists in the course of the winter. The 

 search for documents in France can be completed in another summer, but 

 it is too soon to say how much time will be needed for the further work of 

 copying, collating, and critically sifting the materials which will be necessary 

 for the proposed calendar of the charters of Norman sovereigns from 1035 to 

 1 154. The English Historical Review for October, 1907, contains a paper on 

 "Knight service in Normandy in the eleventh century" which embodies the 

 results of investigations regarding early Norman military institutions; and 

 an edition of the "Consuetudines et iusticia quas habuit rex Willelmus in 

 Normannia" and a series of documents upon Norman administration in the 

 twelfth century are nearly ready for publication. One or two other special 

 studies are likely to take shape in the course of the present year.
