...this scheme are concentration of attention, retention of the impression, reproduction and localization. Carrying out this main idea the author has constructed a number of ingenious tables or series of related objects, joining them together by what he calls "links of suggestion."

The former volumes of this series have been exceptionably good, not only for general reading but for historical references. The book just issued proves to be in no wise inferior to the previous volumes. To mention the subject "The third Crusade of the Christians under Richard I of England" is enough at once to awaken an interest even in the casual reader, The doings...
