The subject matter is arranged in a clear and logical manner; a number of genealogical tables are scattered through the work, greatly adding to its effectiveness, and particular attention has been paid to the principal conditions of the great modern treatise through which the historical formation of the present system of European states can be observed in the best manner. The value of a book like this to the members of any of the historical courses, especially such courses...
