EUROPE IN THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY. By David Ogg. (Black. 18s.)

AN up-to-date work of moderate compass, dealing adequately with European history in the seventeenth century, has long been needed. Mr. Ogg's book admirably meets this want. The author gives us a learned and illuminating study. He is fully

abreast of recent research and a valuable critical bibliography is appended.
