8 MACMILLAN’S CATALOGUE OF WORKS IN Freeman (E. A.) —continued. Mr. Freeman?s aim, in this elaborate and valuable work, is not so much to discuss the abstract nature of Federal Government, as to exhibit its actual working in ages and countries widely removedfrom one anoiher. Four Federal Commonwealths stand out, in four different ages of the world, as commanding above all others the attention of students of political history, viz. the Achaian League, the Szviss Cantons, the United Provinces, the United States. The first volume, besides containing a General Introduc- tion, treats of the first of these. In writing this volume the author has endeavoured to combine a text which may be instructive and interesting to any thoughtful reader, whether specially learned or not, with notes which may satisfy the requirements of the most exacting scholar. “ The task Mr. Freeman has undertakenf the Saturday Review says, “is one of great magnitude and importance. It is also a task of an almost entirely novel character. No other work professing to give the history of a political principle occurs to us, except the slight contributions to the history of representative government that is contained in a course of M. Guizof s lectures .... The history of the development of a principle is at least as important as the history of a dynasty, or of a raced7 ■OLD ENGLISH HISTORY. With Five Coloured Maps. Second Edition. Extra fcap. 8vo., half-bound. 6s. “Its object,” the Preface says, “is to show that clear, accurate, and - ■scientific views of history, or indeed of any subject, may be easily given to children from the very first. ... I have throughout striven- to connect the history of England with the general history of civilized Europe, a?id I have especially tried to make the book serve as an incentive to a more accurate study of historic geography. ” The rapid sale of the first edition and the universal approval with which the work has been received prove the correct- ness of the author's notions, and show that for such a book there was ample room. The work is suited not only for children, but will serve as an ex- cellent text-book for older students, a clear and faithjid summary of the history of the period for those who wish to revive their historical know- ledge, and a book full of charms for the general reader. The work is preceded by a complete chroiiological Table, and appended is an exhaustive and useful Index. In thepresent edition the whole has been carefully revised, and such improvements as suggested themselves have been introduced. “ The book indeed is full of instruction and interest to students of all ages, and he must be a well-informed man indeed who will not rise from its perusal with clearer and more accurate ideas of a too much neglected portion of English history.”—Spectator.
