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.

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 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.

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
