the oriental nations, will be concentrated upon Greece and Rome. In

Ages, in which the papacy and the Holy Roman Empire will form

will be grouped around the Renaissance, the Reformation, and the
French Revolution. Lectures, collateral reading and reports by members
of the class will be employed in instruction.

Text-Books.—Schwill's Political History of Modern Europe (Scribner's).
