THIS is the Student's edition, corresponding to the "History of the Middle Ages," published in the same form. The whole work is compressed into one by no means unwieldy volume, of very clear type, the only omissions being certain parts of the less important remarks, and most of the notes printed at the foot of the pages.

...part of the Faculty, the classes of '75 and '76 were led to promise entire abstinence from hazing; and for the faithfulness with which they have kept this promise they are deserving of praise.

But Kenelm Chillingly shows neither of these faults. It has all the vigor and novelty of a first attempt, and all the gracefulness and ease which only come...
About 9.30 the crowd began moving toward Hampden Park, to see the two-mile foot-race for the Bennett prize, and the ball-match between the Harvard and Brown Freshmen. These occupied more or less fully the whole morning...
