8739. UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA, Historical course.—
In modern history, there
are but two nations with whose course it is interesting
to us to be intimately acquainted, to
wit: France and England. For the former,
Millot's General History of France may be sufficient
to the period when I Davila commences.
He should be followed by Perefixe, Sully, Voltaire's
Louis XIV. and XV., Lacretelles
XVIIIme. Siècle, Marmontel's Regence, Foulongion's
French Revolution, and Madame de
Stael's, making up by a succession of particular
history, the general one which they want.—
