A CLASSIFIED BIBLIOGRAPHY.' THE following works are classified, first by subject, according to the general treatment in this text-book; and then, under each subject, in two groups. In the judgment of the writer, all high school libraries should contain Group I. under each division, or an equivalent; and large high schools may, with advantage, possess Group II. also. A reduction of from twenty to thirty per cent from the list price can usually be obtained. For a discussion of the value of the principal works, it is well to consult Charles Kendall Adams' Manual of Historical Literature (Harpers). Works marked with a should be present in more than one copy. When a book belongs to a series, the name of the series, in quotation marks, is given in a parenthesis after the title. In the case of translations, the translator's name is sometimes given after the title, in parenthesis. PRIMITIVE SOCIETY; RACE. (See Introduction.) DODGE (R. J.), Our Wild Indians. $2.50.
