European History Chronologically Arranged. By Arthur Ifassall, M.A. (Macmillan and

Co. 8s. Gd. net.)—This is a book of tables, in which information, genealogical and historical, is arranged in a way which cannot fail to make the volume highly useful to the student of history. One does not learn history from such manuals, but their value as convenient tests of knowledge acquired and for bringing it into shape cannot be exaggerated. The period covered is from 476 A.D. to the present time. For the most part the facts, names, &c., are arranged in four columns,—namely, "Germany," "Eastern and Southern Europe," "England," "France." Service- able summaries are given in the appendix.
