A.) Historical Geography of Europe, 2 vols. 8vo. Vol. I, text, L and 604 pp.; Vol. II, 65 coloured historical maps, cloth, 27s 1881 This work really supplies a great want in English Literature, and ought to be the text book at all the High Schools and the Universities of the land; indeed, no man should be admitted to the House of Commons or to any diplomatic post, until he had successfully passed a severe examination in Mr. Freeman's Historical Geography. A mere knowledge of English History is in our days not sufficient for the proper education of the people. Historians like Mr. Freeman are an honour to this country, and the wide study of his works will be his best reward. As an historian he is unrivalled in England; as a politician, his mental grasp of facts is faulty. If he had followed Gibbon's example, and entered the House of Commons, his political views would have been enlarged, and he would have discovered, amongst other truths, that a strong AUSTRIA is not only a European, but also an English necessity; a tacit Anglo-German-Austrian Alliance being the securest basis of a solid peace in Europe. A hasty expression at a public meeting about INDIA has unfortunately been perverted by the Conservative press. 1775 Abrégés Historiques, a handy useful series: 4707 France.
