F. Ponteil*, L’eveil des nationalité mt, (1960) replaces an earlier volume under the same title by Get which is still worth consulting. The equivalent American seri al, Rise of Modern Europe is more discursive and geographically hee The available volumes are Crane Brinton’s *A decade of rua 1789-99 (1934), G. Bruun, *Europe and the French Imperium (1938) aa F. B. Artz, *Reaction and Revolution 1814-32 (1934). Bibliographically the most useful of the series is Clio, which is aimed at students and periodically brought up-to-date; note especially the sections sum- marizing current historical debate. The relevant volumes are: E. Préclin and V. L. Tapié, *Le xoviite siécle (2 vols.); L. Villat, La révolution et Empire (2 vols.), J. Droz, L. Genet and J. Vidalenc, *L’époqu contemporaine, vol. 1, 1815-71. Though old, J. Kulischer, Allgemeine Wirtschaftsgeschichte, vol. I, Neuzet (republished 1954) is still a good factual summary of economic history, but there are also numerous American college textbooks approximately equal value, e.g. W. Bowden, M. Karpovitch and AP. 332 pipLJOORAPHY of Europe since 1750 (1937). J. Schumpeter, i ws? ig broader than its title suggests, Of general (1 at from histories, M. H.

Sée, * Esquisse d’une wt OL régime agraire en Europe au 18¢ et rge siécles (1921) has not yet ei replaced by anything as handy. There is as yet no good synthesis (the modern research work on farming. For money, Mare Bloch’s very brief Bsquasse d'une histoire monétaire de I’ Europe (1954) is useful as is , Mackenzie, The banking systems of Great Britain, France, Germany and iu USA (1945). For want of a general synthesis R. E. Cameron, Frawe and the economic development of Europe 1800-1914 (1961), one of the most solid pieces of research to have appeared in recent years, can gene as an introduction to problems of credit and investment, together vith the still unsurpassed L, H. Jenks, The migration of British capital to ips (1927). There is no good general treatment of the industrial revolution, in spite of much recent work on economic growth, not often of great interest to the historian. The best comparative conspectus is in the special number of Studi Storici 11, 3-4 (Rome 1961) and the more specialised First international conference of economic history, Stockholm 1960 (Paris-Hague 1961). P. Mantoux, The industrial revolution, of the 18th century (106), in spite of its age, remains basic for Britain, There is nothing as good for the period since 1800. W, O. Henderson, * Britain and industrial Europe 1750-1870 (1954) describes British influence and J.

C. C. Gillispie, Genesis and geology (1951) is entertaining and illustrates the difficulties between science and religion. On education G. Duveau, op. cit. and Brian Simon, Studies in the history of education 1780-1870 (1960) will help to compensate for the absence of a good modern comparative study. On the press there is G.

Garratt, Rise and fulfilment of British riz in E (1934), Eric Stokes, The English utilitarians and India (1959)— bat illuminating work—and A. R, Desai, The social background of dian nationalism (Bombay 1948). There is no adequate account of Egypt under Mehemet Ali, but H. Dodwell, The Founder of Modern Egypt (1931) may be consulted. It is impossible to do more than point to one or two histories of some countries or regions. For Britain, E. Halévy, History of the English people in the 19th century remains fundamental, especially the great survey of England in 1815 in vol. 1; to be supplemented by A. Briggs, The age of improvement 1780-1867 (1959). For France a classic of social history gives the eighteenth century background, P. Sagnac, La formation de la société francaise moderne, 11 (1946), and Gordon Wright, France in modern times (1962) a good introductory history-since then. F. Ponteil, La monarchie parlementaire 1815-48 (1949) and F. Artz, France under the Bourbon restoration (1931) are recommended. For Russia M. Florinsky, Russia, IL (1953) covers the period since 1800 fully and M. N. Pokrovsky, Brief history of Russia, I (1933) and P. Lyashchenko, History of the Russian national economy (1947) include it.

Langer’s Ene f pedia of World History (1948) or Ploetz’ Hauptdaten der Weltgessh a (1957) give the main dates, the admirable Alfred Mayer, 4 European civilisation 1501-1900 (1949) deals specially with culture, scieng and the like. M. Mulhall, Dictionary of Statistics (1892) remai tee i compendium of figures. Among historical encyclopedias the 2 = Sovietskaya Istoricheskaya Entsiklopediya in 12 volumes covers the world: the Encyclopedie de la Pleiade has special volumes on Universal History (3) the History of Literatures (2) Historical Research—very valuable and the History of Science; but these are organised Narratively ang not under dictionary-headings. Cassell’s Encyclopedia of Literature (2Vvols.) is useful and E. Blom ed., Grove’s Dictionary of Music and Musicians (9 vols.) (1954), though a little British, standard. The Encyclopedia of World Art (to be completed in 15 vols., I-V published) 1s outstanding, The Encyclopedia of the Social Sciences (1931), though getting old, remains very useful. The following atlases, not so far mentioned, may also be consulted with profit: Atlas Istorit SSSR (1950), J. D. Fage, An atlas of African history (1958), H. W. Hazard and H. L.
