SPECIAL READING REFERENCES ON TOPICS OF ENGLISH HISTORY 1

I. See, on this whole subject, Professor H. L. Cannon's Reading References for English History referred to in the Short List of Books on page xxxvi. Professor Cannon's volume contains exact references to some two thousand of the most useful and accessible works on English history." No other single volume can compare with it for usefulness in this department.

II. See E. K. Kendall's Source-Book of English History; G. C. Lee's Source-Book of English History; and Professor E. P. Cheyney's Readings of English History (I vol.); A. H. D. Acland, and C. Ransome, Outline of the Political History of England, 1 vol.

III. See, for brief but carefully written biographical and historical articles relating to English history, Chambers's Encyclopædia, 10 vols. For fuller treatment see the New Encyclopædia Britannica (29 vols.), The Dictionary of National [British] Biography (66 vols.), and the International Encyclopædia (17 vols.).

IV. For recent events in English history, see Whitaker's Almanack, Hazell's Annual, the Annual Register, the Statesman's Year-Book, and other publications of this class.

1 In connection with the investigation of topics it will be found that the five questions, 1. When did the event occur? 2. Where did it occur? 3. How did it occur? 4. What caused it? 5. What came of it? (see Suggestions to Teachers, at the beginning of the book), can often be used to good advantage. By slightly modifying their form they can be used equally well respecting persons who have taken a leading part in originating or controlling events.
