Riassunto

Excerpt from Political History Since 1815 (Excluding the United States): A Syllabus of Lectures Prepared for Use in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology

This book is intended to serve as a basis for a course of lectures upon the outlines of political history in the nineteenth century. As used in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, it is placed in the hands of the students, who follow in its pages the oral lectures upon the same subjects. The lecturer, feeling that his hearers already know the skeleton of his topic, is at liberty to provide the flesh, blood, and life, wherever and however it may seem best. The students are required also to read selections from the references and from apposite articles in the current reviews and magazines, and to submit abstracts of this reading, periodically, to the instructor. It will be seen, therefore, that no attempt has been made to refer to works that are not to be found in a comparatively small class-library. No books have been quoted which are not easily obtainable at a small cost. At the same time, those who are near large libraries can readily expand the reference work, if they so desire. The individual student into whose hands the book may fall, and who may desire more comprehensive guidance, is recommended to resort to the bibliographies of modern history already published in Dr. G. Stanley Hall's "Methods of Teaching History" (2nd ed.), and in Prest. Charles Kendall Adams's "Manual of Historical Literature" (2nd ed.).
