Somewhat briefer and rather journalistic is, , giving especial attention to Germany, 1816-1875. Very recent political developments are treated by Professor Andrews in his volume on, the last in the great set, " The History of all Nations," published by Lea Brothers. In due time Vols. X-XII of the will appear, and will, it is to be hoped, give a broad view of the general progress of the century. These general accounts may be supplemented by the following: ,.
