READINGS IN MODERN EUROPEAN HISTORY.
Readings in Modern European History. By James Harvey Robinson and Charles A. Board. Vol. II. (Ginn and Co. Os. 6d.)—This volume covers the period beginning with the Congress of Vienna. The plan may be best explained to readers who may not happen to have seen the first volume by an example. "Chapter XXIIL—The German Empire." The German Consti- tution is illustrated by an extract from "Les Discours de M. to Prince Bismarck," Then the Syllabus of 1864 and the doctrine of Papal Supremacy and Infallibility are given ; then Bismarck's view of the Kulturkampf. Various documents on Socialism follow, with an account of working-class insurance. Next we have the German doctrines of Protection and Colonisation, illus- trated by the Kaiser's speech in 1897 and a Conservative election manifesto in 1896. Finally, the reign of the Kaiser is illustrated by his first address to the Reichstag in 1888 and other documents, ending in an account of the Election of 1907.
