OGG’S SOURCE BOOK OF MEDIAEVAL HISTORYEdited by FREDERIC AUSTIN OGG, A.M., Assistant in History, Harvard University, and Instructor in Simmons College.$1.50In this book is provided a collection of documents illustrative of European life and institutions from the German invasions to the Renaissance. Great discrimination has been exercised in the selection and arrangement of these sources, which are intended to be used in connection with the study of mediæval history, either in secondary schools or in the earlier years of college. Throughout, the controlling thought has been to present only those selections which are of real value and of genuine interest—that is, those which subordinate the purely documentary and emphasize the strictly narrative, such as annals, chronicles, and biographies. The extracts are of considerable length from fewer sources, rather than of greater number from a wider range. The translations have all been made with care, but for the sake of younger pupils simplified and modernized as much as close adherence to the sense would permit. An introductory explanation, giving at some length the historical setting of the extract, and commenting on its general significance, accompanies each translation. The index is very full.AMERICAN BOOK COMPANYNew YorkCincinnatiChicagoBoston
