CORCORAN SCHOOL OF HISTORICAL SCIENCE.
Prof. Holmes.
In this School are two classes—one of General History, the other of
the Processes of Historical Change. Either class may be taken separately.
I. In the class of General History the story of advancing civilization
is followed through the succession of the leading nations, from the commencement
of authentic history to the Age of Revolution still in progress.
Text-books.—Smith's History of Greece; Merivale's History of Rome (Puller's
Abridgment); Gibbon, abridged by Smith; Modern History, Text-Book to be indicated
hereafter.
II. The other class embraces Political Economy and the Science of
Society, Political Economy being treated as subordinate.
The Science of Society will investigate the laws and movements, the
growth, decay, and constitution of Societies, in the different stages of
social development.
Text-books—In Political Economy, Mill's Political Economy. In the Science of
Society there is none. The class will be dependent for the present on notes of the
lectures.
