British History Chronologically Arranged, SS B C. — A.D. 1919. European History Chronologically Arranged A.D. 476 — 1920, by Arthur Hassall (The Macmillan Co. of Canada). The many who have found Mr. Hassall's European History a valuable tool in their working library will welcome the new edition, which brings the work up to 1920, and the very satisfactory companion arrangement of British History. One or two minor typographical errors have crept into the latter, such as one on page 37 which places the Battle of Brunanburh in 637 instead of 937, but on the whole, the careful character of all Mr. Hassall's work is maintained. The arrangement in parallel columns is very useful and the summaries appended are discriminatingly chosen. The explanatory notes reveal the experienced teacher. These are frankly chronological handbooks, but they are not merely so.
