Author Description

Excerpt from The Chief Periods of European History Six: Lectures Read in the University These are the Lectures referred to in the last paragraph of the Preface to the course on the Methods of Historical Study, lately published. I have added to them the second of two articles which appeared in the Contemporary Review for 1884. The former of them, Some Neglected Periods of European History, I have not reprinted, as its substance will be found in the present course. The second, Greek Cities under Roman Rule, as dealing somewhat more in detail with some points which are barely glanced at in the present course, seemed to make a fitting Appendix to it.
