Historical students will be glad to know that the late

Professor Paetow's Guide to the Study of Medieval History has been revived and enlarged by a committee of the Medieval Academy of America (Kegan Paul, 21s.); It first appeared in 1917, when the War was distracting historians, like all others, and it received less notice in England than it deserved. The new edition, including books and articles up to 1928, is especially comprehensive for Europe ; English topics are admittedly treated with less care as Gross's bibliography covers them. The section on medieval culture is particularly good.
