ITALY, SPAIN An important historical congress is to be held in Milan in November in connection with the International Exhibition recently opened in that city. It will deal exclusively with the history of modern Italy, 1 796-1 870, and its scope will be to stimulate and organize research in that special field, to further systematic and organized cataloguing of its historical documents and to create keener interest in their preserva- tion. An exhibition of historical documents and objects will be held in connection with the congress, and elaborate preparations are being made to secure unpublished material from both public and private archives throughout Italy. Among the supporters of the undertaking are the most notable historians of Italy, and not a few foreigners. Two Americans have been invited to attend the congress as delegates, Wil- liam Roscoe Thayer as representative of the United States, and H. Nelson Gay as one of the representatives of Rome. The publication of the official bulletin has been already begun, Bollettino Ufflciale del Prima Congresso Storico del Risorgimento Italiano e Saggio di Nostra Sistematica (Milano, L. T. Cogliati, 1906), a monthly periodical con- taining important unpublished historical documents and inventories of archives, as well as the official proceedings and communications of the congressional committees. Signor Pietro Sella proposes to publish under the title of Corpus Statutorum Italicorum a work in several volumes which will include the most important statutes up to 1400. He has issued a Piano di Pubblicazionc through Forzani, Rome (1906).
