 84 Readings in European History from the sources are given. This renders it especially useful to one who has not a large library at his disposal, HERGENROTHER, JOSEPH, Cardinal, Allgemeine Kirchengeschichte, 3d ed., 1884-1886 (4th ed., edited by Kirsch, Vol. I, 1902, carrying the history down to the seventh century). The work of a distinguished Catholic authority. Realencyklopddie ficr protestantische Theologie und Kirche. Begriin- det von J. J. Herzog. A third carefully revised edition of this all- important ecclesiastical encyclopedia is being issued under the editor- ship of Hauck. Vols. I-XIII, over half the work, have appeared. Leipzig, 1 896 sqq. Kirchenlexikon oder Encyklopadie der Katholischen Theologie undihre Hilfswissenschaften. Second edition edited by Hergenrother and Kauler, 12 vols. and separately bound index, Freiburg, 1882-1901. Both of the above are of the utmost value to the student of general history, who should turn to them for special topics and bibliographies. MIRBT, CARL, Quellen zur Geschichte des Papsthums, 2d ed., 1903. A very useful selection of documents given in the original Latin. LANGEN, Geschichte der Romischen Kirche, 4 vols., Bonn. 1881-1893. Coming down to Innocent III. Probably the best detailed history of the popes. It claims to be written exclusively from the sources. HEFELE, Conciliengeschichte, 2d ed., 1873-1890: Vols. I-VI reach the opening of the fifteenth chapter (Vol. VII has not appeared in the second edition; Vols. VIII and IX are a continuation by Cardinal Hergenrother). The classical history of the Christian councils, written by a remarkable Catholic scholar. HARNACK, History of Dogma, 7 vols. (Boston, $17.50) ; original German edition, under the title Lehrbuch der Dogmengeschichte, 3 vols., 3d ed., 1894- 1897, M. 52.50. Although a technical work dealing with a phase of the past in which the historical student is not commonly much interested, he should have some acquaintance, at least, with this truly astounding production of a great authority in the field of church history. The breadth and scholarship of the treatment cannot fail to make a deep impression upon even a casual reader. MIGNE, Patrologia Latina, 221 vols., Paris, 1844-1866. Migne was a Parisian publisher who conceived the bold plan of bringing together into one great uniform series all the writings relating to the Church, its doctrines and history from Tertullian to Innocent III. While the editions that he used have in some cases been superseded, the collection nevertheless contains a wealth of material which even the best libraries are hardly likely to have in any other form.
