Here is an outstanding selection of readings and documents which can be

used to great advantage with any general textbook in American history.

Geared to the needs and abilities of cqllege freshmen and sophomores, the

readings are mainly interesting secondary accounts in social and economic

subjects. Since the editors believe that readings on a latge number of topics

confuse the student without increasing his understanding, the number of

important subjects has been purposely limited. The readings are skillfully

organized into two volumes which provides easily understandable assign­

ments.

New Knopf Texts in Medieval History

THE MIND OF THE MIDDLE AGES

by Frederick B. Artz, Oberlin College

This unusual synthesis of the culture of the Middle Ages covers the whole

period from 200 A. D. to 1500 A. D. and explores every facet of the medieval mind.

It is a general map from whence to explore more specialized works, presenting the

important aspects of the history of medieval thought in both the Near East and

the West. In addition to European materials, the author discusses classical anti­

quity, Jewish and Early Christian background, and Byzantine and Islamic Civiliza­

tions. He examines the politics and philosophy, the literature, music, architecture

and painting, the science, education and social thought of the period. This is an

extraordinarily comprehensive and thoughtful book.

A HISTORY OF THE MIDDLE AGES

by Sidney Painter, The Johns Hopkins University

In this compact history an eminent Medievalist explores the broad lines of

political and economic development during the Middle Ages without chronological

fragmentation or unnecessary detail. Unmatched in style and readability, this new

volume examines equally and comparatively the three chief countries of Western

Europe: England, France, and the Holy Roman Empire, re-emphasizing the tactics

and equipment of military history, and discussing the history of the Church as a

central theme. The latest scholarship, a lively style, and insights born of great

experience as teacher and writer, make this an outstanding book for college students.

New Knopf Texts in American History

A HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

by Harry J. Carman and Harold C. Syrett Columbia University

This is an outstanding example of textbook writing and publishing. . GEORGE H. KNOLES, Stanford Unwersity

A most attractive work. Its emphasis on the growth and change of society is com­prehensive and penetrating without relapsing into cataloguing and provides the matrix of politics and economics in their interplay. The bibliographical notes are remarkably comprehensive, judicious, and accurate.

J. B. B1!.EBNER, Columbia UnifJersity This two-volume set constitutes one of the finest efforts in the American history textbook field. They are well-organized, neatly balanced between fact and inter­pretation, and written with remarkable clarity.

ARTHUR W. THOMPSON, University of Florida Vol. I-To 1865: Clothbound, 786 pages, 72 illus., 15.75 text Vol. II-Since 1865: Clothbound, 837 pages, 73 illllS., 15.75 text

THE FAITH OF OUR FATHERS

edited by Irving S. Mark, Brooklyn College and Eugene L. Schwaab

This volume of uncommonly refreshing readings selected from original sources expresses the ideals and aspirations of the plain people who lived in the United States from 1790 to the Civil War. In documents accessible for the most part only in newspap'ers and periodical files, ordinary citizens make articulate the broad base of civil, political, and religious freedom in our democratic heritage. The editors, a college professor and a rare-book collector, have judiciously selected the most relevant parts of speeches, editorials, pamphlets, and fugitive pieces, and organized them through headnotes and introductions into a meaningful volume of illuminating readings. 5H x 8U, inches, cloth, 416 pages, 15.00 text

The Railroads of the Confederacy by ROBERT C. BLACK, III

In the first great "railroad war" neither the steam locomotives nor their owners were easily harnessed to the support of the Confederacy.

Mr. Black interweaves a scholarly history of the railroads with an absorbing picture of adventurous men and iron horses. Profusely illustrated. $6.00

The American Diaries of Richard Cobden

Edited by ELIZABETH HOON CAWLEY. In 1835 a young English cloth manufacturer came to this country for a three-month visit and jotted down his im­pressions in a private diary. He kept the same sort of informal account when he returned in 1859, one of Britain's most distinguished statesmen. Intended only for his personal use, the diaries afford new insight into Cobden's development and candid glimpses into American life, as informative and richly entertaining as a col­lection of Currier & Ives. 249 pages, illustrated, $4.00

Selections from Bayle's "Dictionary"

Edited by E. A. BELLER and M. DU P. LEE, Pierre Bayle's Dictionary was a major source of information for the radical thinkers of the 18th century. Disguised in it were daring attacks on religion and intolerance, a new critical approach to the writing of history and biography, a keen sense of the implications of the scien­tific method and of the Enlightenment. Among those who were influenced by Bayle were Voltaire, Diderot, Gibbon, Mandeville, Jefferson, and, later, Herman Melville.

These selections, from the English edition of 1734-1738, are intended as an introduction to an important landmark in Western intellectual history.

336 pages, $5.00

Bentham and the Ethics of Today

By DAVID BAUMGARDT, Based on Bentham's original statements (many of them here published and analyzed for the first time), this painstaking study of Jeremy Bentham's moral philosophy corrects many misconceptions concerning this founder of modern hedonism. Mr. Baumgardt is consultant in philosophy at the Library of Congress. 586 pages, 17.50

"The greatest of American diaries and

one of the world's great diaries."

-ALLAN NEVINS

THE DIARY OF

George Templeton Strong Edited by ALLAN NEVINS and MILTON HALSEY THOMAS

This vast four-volume diary is a day-to-day account of forty historically, politi­cally, and socially fascinating years-18S5 to 1875. The nearly five million words of George Templeton Strong's record, skillfully edited by a distinguished historian and a noted archivist, are now available to give historians perhaps the clearest picture they have of any period in United States history.

The qualities of a great diarist are present to a remarkable degree in George Temple­ton Strong. He showed early his acute intellect, in a precocious interest in the clas­sics, and his unfailing humor and humility. The varied interests of his mature years­education, politics, law, music-give his journal authority based on serious study in many fields.

The great and near-great of Strong's time, many of whom he knew intimately, appear vividly, sometimes in an unsympathetic light. His commentaries on the theatre remind one of Pepys; his opinions on contemporary arts and letters read like a more informal Hazlitt. Scandal in high society, the trivia of national fads like phrenology and hydropathy, stand recorded with his penetrating analyses of political battles, and an account of his own role in Civil War affairs. Here is a tre­mendous American document, a source book for all future historians, and a com­pletely absorbing, enormoulsy readable series.

Four volumes, illustrated, boxed, $85.00

THE PROTESTANT CRUSADE

By Ray Allen Billington. "This is a sobering book. It reminds us that religious toleration has been a legal rather than a social fact in our his­tory ... reveals how a curious amal­gam of economic envy and religious fanaticism can be sublimated into a moral crusade, and how serious are the implications and consequences of such a crusade for the crusaders as well as for the victims. Mr. Billington confines himself largely to the genera­tion from 1820 to 1860."-Henry Steele Commager in The New York Herald Tribune (rev. of original edition) A reissue of this notable study of anti­Catholicism in the United States will be available Spring, 1953
