SELECTED READINGS

Bibliographical Material.—In recent years a number of excellent bibliographies covering all or a portion of the Latin-American field have appeared. The following will be found most useful: C. K. Jones, Hispanic- American Bibliographies (Baltimore, 1922). This work, prepared by an expert bibliographer, contains comprehensive lists of bibliographies, collective biographies, histories of literature, and general and miscellaneous works useful for reference purposes. It is invaluable for the teacher and advanced student. H. Keniston, List of Works for the Study of Hispanic-American History (New York, 1920). This work contains both a list of bibliographies and a considerable number of titles of books on individual countries and special topics. It is especially useful for the colonial period. H. L. Hoskins, Guide to Latin-American History (Boston, 1922). This little book contains a detailed syllabus together with abundant references, confined, however, to works in English. W. W. Pierson, Jr., A Syllabus of Latin-American History (Durham, N. C, 1917) and Hispanic-American History, 1826-1920 (Institute of International Education; International Relations Clubs, Syllabus, no. vii, New York, 1921). These two syllabi contain a comprehensive list of references, especially serviceable for the period since independence. P. H. Goldsmith, A Brief Bibliography of the Books in English, Spanish and Portuguese Relating to the Republics Commonly Called Latin American, with Comments (New York, 1915). A selected list of books with brief critical comments. The revision of C. K.
