DONNELLEY & SONS CO., CHICAGO INTRODUCTION. With the increased study of later History in higher educa- tional fields during the past few years, and its examination along the practical lines of law, civics and economics, has come a natural demand for improved methods of historical study. Compliance with this demand has resulted largely in placing the student in the way of investigating for himself the original matter, a reproduction or description of which he formerly committed, and of so arranging the topics for this investigation, that they shall lead to the discovery of those great principles upon which the superstructure of all social science is erected. "No historical study is of any value which does not take in a knowledge of original authorities." To this end, the learner is brought, after his elementary text-book training in the grammar or secondary school, into the presence of a selected histor- ical library; directions for pursuing his investigations are placed in his hands; every facility is accoided him for original work, and he must give account to his instructor in a system of reports, culmi- nating, after sufficient practice, in a paper, whose breadth of con- ception, grasp of historical principles and variety of treatment, show evidence of ability to work alone hereafter. The progressive teacher is no longer content with mere text-book recitation, whose useful- ness is bounded by the terms work, but wishes to train an investi- gator, an original worker, having skill in methods of work rather than possessing an accumulation of facts. Yet the difficulties in the way of such method frequentlv lead to its abandonment. In a few institutions the references and exercises are printed by the department of History. Where the finances will not permit this, many teachers set their own lists for classes or individuals, entailing a vast amount of labor and often resulting in confusion of data from copying. The use of set lists, 5 6 INTRODUCTION. made flexible by marking desirable topics, may prove beneficial to both instructor and class. Nor is the desire to investigate original sources confined to the class room and seminary. The private student in his library has been increased many fold by the organization of the Chautauqua, University Extension and similar movements, fostering largely the study of historical questions. A guide to the intricate paths they are pursuing may lighten the difficulties under which they labor. The aim in compiling this little book has been to make it as useful as possible ; choosing to err on the side of a superfluity rather than a paucity of directions ; mindful of the crowded curriculum which, by its limited time, demands a specific reference; not for- getting the embarrassment of the new student in the presence of the multitude of historical works which exist ; suggesting in the Exer- cises the means of developing thought and of preserving the results of the investigations. If the lists prove serviceable to students of High Schools, Colleges and Universities as well as to students away from these centers, their purpose will be fulfilled. ENGLISH CONSTITUTIONAL HISTORY. The general custom of prefacing a study of American history with an examination of those parts of the unwritten English consti- tution, which by inheritance largely influenced the written docu- ments and gave form to many of the American institutions, has suggested the advisability of a few references upon these vital points.

The selection of books to be quoted has been influenced by ascertaining those most commonly employed in different city libraries as well as in various reference libraries. Being at last largely a matter of judgment, the choice is far from closed to criti- cism. The brief life of many good books is shown by their scarcity. Reprints have been noted as far as ascertained.
