PREFACE. 
 
 This scheme is prepared for the use of private classes and 
 literar}' clubs. 
 
 The topics for study are arranged by centuries, and although 
 not exhaustive, they embrace the most noted and influencive 
 events and characters of the period. 
 
 The topics for essays are onl}^ suggestive, and may be u.sed 
 or changed for others. 
 
 Much profit and pleasure will be derived from this supple- 
 mentary exercise, as it will lead to a deeper investigation of 
 the subjects. 
 
 The catalogue of book^ embraces the best historical works, 
 from which a thorough knowledge of this period of his- 
 tory may be derived, or from which those who have less 
 leisure, or desire for extended research, maj^ select topical 
 readings, which will give them pleasant and important infor- 
 mation of the essential facts and people of the age. 
 
 Historical romances are helpful, by impressing upon the 
 mind the real, every-daj^ life of historical peoples ; the strug- 
 gles, the interests, passions and purposes which constitute 
 real life, and are often unknown to history. 
 
 It will be found a pleasant and profitable exercise to analyze, 
 criticise and compare such novels as Bulwer's Harold, Kings- 
 ley's Hereward and Scott's romances, etc., with the best 
 cotemporary authorities. 
 
 Blank spaces are left for marginal notes and comments. 
 
 Blank pages for additions to the catalogue of books.
