THE MIDDLE AGES.
Il Ne5o History of Their Peoples
and Their Deeds.

A SHORT HISTORY OF MEDIEVAL PEoPLEE
From the Dawn of the Christian Era TO the
Fall of Constantnopie. BY Robinson Souttar
Svo, PIP 682. Charles Scrtbners Sons.
Largely on account Of the somewhat unde-
served reputation gained by the people living in
Europe during the nine centuries that elapsed
between the final downfall OF the Western
Roman Empire and the first revival OF culture
in the thirteenth century in Italy. students Of
history have followed the advice Of popular ira
dition and SKINNED lightly over this long period
filed with wars. race wanderings, lethargy, re
ligious enthusiasms and ignorance. The Middle
Ages have so little bearing upon later events,
IL is thought that a close scrutiny of the former
is hardly worth while. The strength of this
opinion has long been waning in many quarters.
medieval life has far more vital connections
with the present than men In the first flush Of
the New Learning willing to admit. In
art philosophy, politics and religion, our own
times have followed, far more than long
suspected, the ideals and principles hrooded over
IN the Dark Ages" II is therefore only proper
that readers OF history should pay atten-
ton to the events Of the epoch than is usual
outside of a few advanced schools. A popular
history OF the medieval peoples might, if it did
Justice to the latter. fairly claim place every
historical students bookshelf.
The present volume is not, unfortunately the
kind most desired. Mr. Souttar has tried to
bridge over the gap between the end of the
ancient world, whose history he has recorded in
an earlier volume, and the beginning or the
Middle Ages which are conVehloAdly supposed
10 begin I'm 476 A. D., by devoting the first half
of the present volume to the decline and fall of
Rome Half the book is occupied with an ac-
curate but painfully matter-of-fact chronicle of
facts which. for the most, have only remote
connection with the Middle Ages. Aside from
the irrelevance of these 343 pages for the
student who is in search of medieval history.
the treatment shows the authors lack OF skill
in separating important facts from triviaIities.
The intermingling Of anecdotes, dates. genealo-
gies and bald SUGGESTIONS of rulers and events
puts the work at once into the category of text
books suited for students who are following
lectures on the same subject. Carefully sub
divided and paragraphed, it is handy history
of ready reference for those who wish TO find
dates and fix in mind the general course Of
affairs in the period treated. Histories now
adays, If intended for general reading at ALL
should place less stress upon the birthdays of
kings and incidents in their reigns and more
upon the forces at work among the masses and
the classes; for history becomes ineligible only

Aside from a curiously misplaced tone OF piety,
though Mr.. Souttar's account of the Saracens
and the Crusades is fairly readable in compari-

that the writer did not lavish more space and
research upon these two topics, especially the
former: for there is no good, short history COW

conspicuous a lack of appreciation OF the Sc

make clear TO the reader the inner strength of

ever the face Of Europe and caused the Cru

schoolroom character of the book. If anybody
