THESE volumes correspond to the four subdivisions re- 

 quired 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 con- 

 ditions and needs of secondary schools. 



^j 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 man- 

 kind. Especial attention is paid to social history, as well as 

 to the movements of sovereigns and political leaders. 

 ^[ 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, which shall 

 make the narrative distinct, memorable, and clear.
