For chronology, genealogies, lists of sovereigns, and other data the most valuable works are Arthur Hassall, European History, 476-1920 (new ed., N. Y., 1920, Macmillan, $4.00), G. P. Putnam, Tabular Views of Universal History (new ed., N. Y., 1915, Putnam, $3.00), and K. J. Ploetz, A Handbook of Universal History, translated by W. H.

Dow, Atlas of European History (N. Y, 1907, Holt, $2.50), Ramsay Muir, Hammond's New Historical Atlas for Students (2d ed., N. Y., 1914, Hammond, $4.00), and C. G. Robertson and J. G. Bartholomew, An Historical Atlas of Modern Europe from 17S9 to 1914 (N. Y., 1915, Oxford University Press, American Branch, $2.50). Much use can be made of the Literary and Historical Atlas of Europe, by J. G. Bartholomew, in " Everyman's Library" (N. Y., 1910, Dutton, $1.00). Other atlases in the same collection are devoted to Asia, Africa and Australasia, and America, respectively. Very valuable, also, is J. G. Bartholomew, An Atlas of Economic Geography (N.
