...satisfactory condition both in this country and abroad in proportion as the scientific method is superseding the old methods based on chronological, on narrative and be it said on pedantic ideas of these branches. The proper study for mankind is man, and that one of the trinity (so to say) of the humanitarian studies-literature, philosophy and political science-which has to do most broadly with man's concerns-with his concerns as a social being, has been neglected the longest so far as actual academic institutions go. The watchword, which best represents the spirit of the new movement which...
...Constitutions of Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, Austria and Italy, (Lebon); Parliamentary History of France since 1780, (Messrs, Ribot and Charmes, of the Chamber of Deputies;) Diplomatic History since 1789 (Gorel); View of Contemporary Europe, (Leroy-Beaulieu); The Eastern Question since 1856, (Vandal); International Law, (Brentano); Political Economy, (Cheysson); Finances, (Leon Say); Comparative Administrative Systems, (Precourt); Comparative Commercial Legislation, (Lyon-Caen); Private International Law, (Renault); and a second course in political economy, by M.

Lord's efforts resulted in the establishment of the Marylebone Club, who revised the rules of their favorite game before the season of 1788, on June 27 of which year they played and won their first recorded match. We say their first recorded match, because, owing to the destruction by fire in 1825 of many of the old annals of the Marylebone Club, their early history is not perfectly traceable, and it is by no means impossible that the club may have played their opening match before. Lord stayed...
