Abstract
Description
IN response to a number of requests from teachers and lecturers
who are making use of A Text Book of Modern European History,
1789-1930, two other volumes have been prepared, to cover,
respectively, the periods 1453-1661 and 1643-1848.
This volume, therefore, is one of a series which presents a
general account of the history of Europe from the close of the
Middle Ages to the present day. An effort has been made to
avoid the inclusion of such an amount of detail as would obscure
the broad view of European affairs; at the same time it is hoped
that the narrative will be found sufficiently full to be interesting
and intelligible.
The general plan of the work is similar to that followed
in other works by the same author. The sketch-maps arc
simple, and are relevant only to that part of the text with
which they are associated; when the book is used for the
purpose of examination preparation they will be found suitable
for memorising. Genealogical tables and lists of rulers have
been included for reference. Summaries have been appended
for the use of candidates for examination.
