Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Outline of Modern History: A Syllabus With Map Studies
This syllabus represents a modest attempt to provide teachers and students with a guide to the study of modern history. The book has been so arranged as to permit of considerable elasticity in its use; it is intended to be suggestive rather than authoritative. The topical outline is planned to be neither too abbreviated to provide a compre hensive basis for study nor so elaborate as to furnish the student with a substitute for careful note - taking. It is believed that the syllabus will Offer to teachers a useful plan for collegiate courses in history, without infringing upon the individual's ideas of the relative importance of different parts of the work. Therefore, the topical outline has not been divided into lessons or assignments; no list of books for review or of topics for essays has been appended; no hard and fast rules have been laid down for the map studies. To students - particularly that rapidly growing number who study at home - it is hoped that the syllabus will prove valuable as an aid in the evaluation and co-ordination of facts, as well as in providing a general plan of study.
