THIS is the Student's edition, corresponding to the "History of the Middle Ages," published in the same form. The whole work is compressed into one by no means unwieldy volume, of very clear type, the only omissions being certain parts of the less important remarks, and most of the notes printed at the foot of the pages.

How much greater would be the profit derived, if every student were to feel that the teacher's remarks were directed...
...once greeted as a most useful publication. The regular Catalogue is published so late in the year that we really know where almost every fellow rooms ere we have opportunity of referring to its pages. But the Directory, published thus early in the term, is indispensable to every student...
