■ 7 ■F3 UDY OUTLINE SERIES ENGLAND AND SCOTLAND HISTORY AND TRAVEL TENTATIVE EDITION . Many clubs are convinced of the advantage of studying one subject thruout the season, and for this work a carefully prepared program is needed. Local or state committees and state library commissions have spent time in preparing outlines which would be suitable for use else- where if they could be made available by print- ing. It is proposed in this series to centralize such work and to conserve the effort spent in making a good outline by putting it in shape for distribution. The outlines in this edition are printed as originally prepared and they are experimental rather than typical. Clubs them- selves by an actual testing of the outlines will be able to offer suggestion and criticism which will lead to a revision of form. The H. W. Wilson Company The Study Outline and Its Use The series will include outlines on art, litera- ture, travel, biography, history and present day questions. The outlines vary in length. If more topics are given than the number of club meetings for the season, those topics that are more difficult to handle or on which there is less available material, may be dropped. If there are fewer topics than the scheduled meetings, certain topics may be divided. Lists of books are appended to some of the outlines. It would be well for the club to own some of the recommended books. Others can be obtained either from the local public library or from the state traveling library. When very full lists are given it is not necessary for any club to use all the books, but the longer list leaves more room for choice. The best material on some subjects may be found, not in books, but in magazines. These may be looked up under the subject in the Readers' Guide to Periodical Literature. Maga- zine articles and illustrated material may be ob- tained from the Wilson Package Library. For terms see fourth page of cover. A partial list of the study outlines now in print will be found on page three! of this cover. For latest additions to the list write to publisher. ENGLAND AND SCOTLAND HISTORY AND TRAVEL A STUDY OUTLINE EIGHTEEN PROGRAMS and BIBLIOGRAPHY Prepared by C. E. FANNING THE H. W. WILSON COMPANY WHITE PLAINS, N. Y., and NEW YORK CITY 1915 15 STUDY OUTLINE ON ENGLAND AND SCOTLAND This outline is intended for a travel study club which uses a historical foundation for its work. The historical part of the outline is divided into periods marked by sovereigns or royal families in order to facilitate reference to the many types of histories. It is essential that every member of the club follow the chronological narrative in one or more good works for an intelligent knowledge of the development of tenden- cies and movements in the social, political and economic phases of history. It is advisable, also, that maps for important periods be consulted. The travel topics deal with the places usually visited by the American tourist and a few additional places that are well worthy of inspection. A bibliography has been compiled of good reference books that are usually found in public libraries. The encyclopedias will have valuable help on all topics. For the benefit of clubs that can do more work than this outline requires, there is appended a list of subjects suitable for insertion in the program. I Part I.
