Preface

the brief statements there given concerning the significance of each dated event. Care ought also to be taken that pupils acquire a correct pronunciation of all proper names mentioned in the text and incorporated in the index and pronouncing vocabulary. Specific references in footnotes are made to the author's Readings in Ancient History, Readings in Medieval and Modern History, and Historical Source Book. The first two volumes contain sources of a narrative and biographical character; the third volume includes thirty-three documents ranging from Magna Carta to the Covenant of the League of Nations. These collections supply abundant material for outside reading, oral reports in class, and essays. The author desires once more to thank the cartographers, artists, and printers for their efficient cooperation with him in making this work.
