 Since 1851 important new world conditions have arisen the strength ened America following the Civil war. the unifcaton of the German Empire the appearance of the United States as Pacific power, the expulsion of Spain from the west, and the formida- ble rise of Japan Hence, it Is that an amended Greasy is being intro duced to the public with an addition of six battles named above to repre- sent these events; and in addition the two others omitted by Greasy but doomed important hy the present edi- tors Quebec and Yorktown. An of these new events arc treated in the revised volume by trained historians, for example. the story of Sedan Is told hy the commander of the German forces Introductons, appendices, etc. are supplied to help historical unity, 2 typical synopsis introduces the soc- ond pant. and the other synopsis fol- low tho chronological arrangement of Greasy General readers will find this work complete. convenient. and un- commonly informing and students will recognize it as an invaluable work of reference Certainly it fig a hook for all who care to read in brief space what has been happening to tho world of nations Whatever dirtct cnces of opinion may arise as to rev gards tho importance of other battles not included in tho list. it must be ah
 mitted that the battles selected for mention and description arc surely in tho category of decisive ones outside of Russa's fights that turned back the Mongol tide of invasion and a few other world important encounters
