The bibliographies in tlie following pages make no preten- 
 sion to completeness. They are constructed hrst with reference 
 to the books accessible to our classes, and secondly with regard 
 to the proportion of time designed for a topic or country. 
 
 In a like manner, the outlines contain more detail when the 
 instructor expects to lecture, and are more meager in those 
 chapters, often more important, where the class will present 
 topics and work up more complete outlines for themselves. In 
 brief, the pamphlet is prepared solely -with a view^ to the w^ork 
 of the classes in history in the University of Minnesota.

Modern European History. 
 
 INTRODUCTORY— Observations upon Europe in the 
 
 Middle Acres. 
 
 HISTORY OF CIVILIZATION. 
 
 Guizot: History of Civilization. 
 
 Lavisse: Brief View. 
 
 Adams: Civilization in the Middle Ages. 
 
 A. Peculiar Characteristics of European Civilization. 
 The commingling and interaction of conflicting principles, 
 
 (Contrast with ancient civilizations.) 
 Secured by 
 
 1. Physical separntion of nations — which regenerate each 
 
 other (geographical divisions of Europe). 
 
 2. Intermingling of Roman and Teutonic civilizations. 
 
 B. Elements of European Civilization. 
 
 1. Roman (essentially urban): Municipal institutions, law 
 and organization, centralized and irresponsible power, a 
 universal language. (Rome accumulates and selects from 
 all the past.) 
 
 2. Teutonic (essentialh' rural): Personal independence and 
 personal loyalty ; germ of representative government in 
 the tribal democratic organization (a possibility, perhaps, 
 rather than a germ). 
 
 3. The Church : moral principles and the theocratic machin- 
 ery. 
 
 C. The Middle Ages — A Thousand Years of Transition 
 Between the progress of ancient civilization and the progress 
 
 of modern civilization — a period effusion of the diverse ele- 
 ments, and of reorganization. 
 
 1. The period of mixture — fifth to eighth centuries — a chaos 
 of creative forces. 
 
 2. Attempts to organize society — eighth to fifteenth centuries, 
 a. On a universal scale — continuity of the old empire. 
 
 1) The B\'zantine empire (relation to the West). 
 
 2) Charles the Great. 
 
 3) Holy Roman Empire. 
 
b. Feudalism — aristocratic organization from countless 
 
 local centers; feudal /<)rm of society becomes universal 
 in tenth to twelfth centuries; other principles survive 
 to find their opportunity when the crusades have 
 weakened feudalism. 
 
 c. The papacy — attempt at theocratic organization; ob- 
 
 stacles in 
 
 1) Celibacy of the clergy. 
 
 2) Tendency toward national churches. 
 
 3) Assertion of individual freedom of thought (the 
 
 Reformation and its forerunners). 
 
 d. The free cities — democratic attempt ; lacked unit^' and 
 
 ]iermanence. 
 
 e. The svstems of "estates"' in "parliaments" — an attempt 
 
 to reconcile these conflicting principles. 
 3. Success finally attained by the National Monarchies, fif- 
 teenth centurj', which consolidated these elements into 
 modern nations. 
 
 a. France (typical): victory apparent at close of the Hun- 
 
 dred Years War (middle of fifteenth century). 
 Causes and results 
 Consolidation of territory 
 Consciousness of nationality (Joan of Arc) 
 Standing armj' (artillery) 
 Estates dropped 
 Royal courts 
 
 Changed character of rule — intellectual power re- 
 places physical force (diplomac30- 
 
 b. Parallels in other countries. 
 
 D. General Result at Close of the Middle Ages. 
 Centralized despotisms on the ruins of ancient local but tin- 
 
 organizable liberties. 
 Germany and Italy divide into multitudes of pcttr despotisms. 
 These countries not nationalized; lost their liberties and 
 gained nothing in return. 
 
 E. Character of European History from 1500 to the 
 
 French Revolution. 
 Sixteenth and seventeenth centuries — the Reformation and 
 
 religious wars. 
 Eighteenth century — "Philistinism;" dN'nastic and mercantile- 
 wars.

 Fyffe's is the b'est one work to cover the whole field. Mueller 
 gives a satisfactorA^ treatment after Waterloo. Judson is briefer 
 and compact, but is by far the most readable, and his summaries 
 and introductions to periods are valuable. Members of the class 
 •ought X.O own or to have constant access to one of the three ; 
 perhaps volume I. oi Fyffe and the work oi Mueller make the most 
 desirable combination.

 A large number of other works on the French Revolution and 
 the Consulate and Empire. Students who read French will 
 find a large amount of valuable original material in the seminar 
 room, and there is a considerable amount of further material in 
 the stack room. 
 
 1. Taine's "Ancient Regime" and Tocqueville should be 
 studied by the student specially interested in the conditions which 
 brought about the French Revolution. Buckle has the best treat- 
 ment of the literar\' factor, thougli he exaggerates its influence. 
 Lecky^s survey is admirable; and perhaps Lowe// embodies in one 
 popular volume the best results of a comparative study of these 
 greater authorities. 
 
 2. Mrs. Gardiner's compact little book is the best text-book 
 upon the French Revolution, and must be in the hands of the 
 class, each of whom will be expected to own also Number 3 of 
 Volume I, "European History from Contemporary Sources" (10 
 cents). For those who can give further stud\% Carlyle (the most 
 vivid picture), Taine (a great work, strongly anti-democratic), 
 and Stephens (by far the most trustworthy' work), should be spec- 
 iall3' mentioned. Von Sybel is the only writer who does justice to 
 outside Europe. Bax gives the extreme socialist view. For the 
 Napoleonic Regime, Theirs' "Consulate and Empire" is the clear- 
 est and fullest account though sometimes ludicrously French, and 
 often inaccui'ate. 
 
 3. For France from 1815 to 1871 : One of the general works 
 answers all strict requirements, except for topics and for the '48 
 period. Van Laiin gives a readable summary. Latimer is gos- 
 sipy, but unreliable. For the important period 1848-52, see syl- 
 labus. 
 
 4. Wilson or Burgess (the more critical account) should be 
 used for present constitutions. Members of the class will lie ex- 
 pected to own Wilson. 
 
 5. Recent problems must be luinted down in annual encyclo- 
 paedias and periodicals. 
 
/. FRANCE— BEFORE THE REVOLUTION. 
 
 A. Classes. 
 
 1. An aristocracy — privileged, wealthy, non-resident, scepti- 
 
 cal, corrupt and nsdess — all in the "age of vanit_v" — 
 140,000 nobles, 130,000 clergy (70,000 monks and 
 nnns). 
 
 2. A wealthy middle class (third estate) — wanting elsewhere 
 
 in continental Europe. 
 Serf-like peasantry and proletariat — 28,000,000. 
 
 a. Their misery. 
 
 1) Testimony of La Binyere, in 1689. Cf. Lon-e//, chs. 
 
 13 and 14 for criticism of an extreme view. 
 
 2) A century of famine. TcT/ne, "Ancient Regime," 386. 
 
 b. Causes of these conditions. 
 
 1) Peasantry. 
 
 a) Extortionate taxation (50 to 80 per cent of 
 
 peasant's crop); exemptions of privileged class- 
 es; methods of collection ; indirect taxation; etc. 
 
 b) Feudal dues. 
 
 Irredeemable burdens on land. 
 Rights to justice fees, intestate's iiroperty. 
 Tolls — roads, bridge, ferry, market, mill, oven. 
 Game laws. 
 
 2) Workingmen in the towns — machinery, guilds, etc. 
 
 c. Improved condition, nevertheless, of the peasantry. 
 
 1) Practical abolition of persona/ serfdom. 
 
 2) Ownership of land. TocqtwviHe, bk. 11., ch. 1. 
 
 B. Government. 
 
 {Wilson, 176-95, and TocqueviUe.) 
 
 1. Highly centralized. 
 
 Irresponsible king; appointed council ; comptroller general. 
 Thirt3'-six intendants for the thirty-six provinces. 
 Sub-delegates in each canton. 
 
 2. Powers and responsibility. 
 
 3. Appearance of complexity and partial checks from the 
 
 shadows of old local and ciass jurisdictions. 
 (Pays d'etats and pays d'election.) 
 
 4. "The good macliine left to run itself." 
 
 C. Immediate causes of revolution. 
 
 1. The revolution in French opinion from 1770 — the philoso- 
 ])hers — Voltaire and Rousseau — a luimanitarian aristoc- 
 racv and a benevolent king. 
 
2. Influence of England. Buckle, I, 518-528. 
 
 3. Mismanagement of finances. 
 
 4. Long continued failures of harvests. 
 
 5. Lack of repression of disorders ; attempts at reform which 
 
 incited to more rebellion. 
 
 D. Revolution Unexpected. 
 
 1. Old prophecies — the cry of "wolf." 
 
 2. The movement confounded at first with the other tenden- 
 
 cies toward reform by the enlightened monarchs of the 
 century — from which it is to be distinguished by its pop- 
 ular initiative and control. 
 
 3. A destructive revolution was not inevitable in the nature 
 
 of things, but resulted from the incapacity of the rulers 
 and nobility. 
 
 Taine: "Ancient Regime," especially pp. 13-85 and 329-402. 
 
 Van Laun: "French Revolutionary Epoch," 1-32. (A sum- 
 mary from Taine, chieflv, but less graphic and powerful.) 
 
 Tocqueville: "France Before the Revolution" ("The Old 
 Regime and the Revolution" is a translation of the same work 
 under another name) — ver^' excellent and judicial, especially bk. 
 IL chs. 1-6, 9 and 12. 
 
 Adams: "Democracy and Monarchv in France," 32-135. 
 
 Stephens; Kitchin; Morris; Lo^vell; Lccky, V; Gardiner; 
 Von Sybel; Buckle, chs. 8-14. ("If but one thing can be read on 
 the events introducing the Revolution, this {Buckle) should be 
 that one thing," said President White, some years ago.) 
 
II. FRAXCE— IMPORTANT FEATURES OF THE 
 REVOLUTION. 
 
 The influence of national bankrupttn' ; the deficit the immediate 
 impulse to reform ^rom the court side. "It is spiritual bank- 
 ruptcy long tolerated, now verging toward economic(al) Bank- 
 ruptcy, and become intolerable." (Connection with the Amer- 
 ican war.) 
 Chief Ministers of Louis XVI. 
 Turgot: despotic reforms; vastness and multiplicity of his 
 
 aims. 
 Necker: the American war. 
 Calonne: the Notables. 
 Brienne: the Parliaments. 
 
 (attempt of all sooner or later to introduce equal taxa- 
 tion). 
 Necker again, and the 
 
 A. States General (May 9, 1789). 
 
 Methods of election ; problems of organization — double re- 
 presentation and individual voting. The National Assembly 
 (Mirabeau and Sieyes). Court plan for coup J' etat — defeated 
 by rising of Paris. The 
 
 Fall of the Bastile. Sovereignty of the bourgeoisie (rep- 
 resented by the Assembly). 
 
 1. Spontaneous anarchy and spontaneous local organization. 
 
 a. Municipal governments — from electoral colleges. 
 
 b. National guards. 
 
 2. National character of the movement. France now /becomes 
 France — fused in this Revolutionary furnace. AH France, 
 not Paris alone, the revolutionary force. 
 
 3. This new national consciousnes.s, despite isolated separatist 
 tendencies, leads a little later to the Federation, July 14,. 
 1790. 
 
 4. The various jacqueries. 
 
 5. The composition of the Assembh'. Early reforms of the 
 Assembh' at Versailles ; 
 
 a. the declaration of rights— the fall of feudalism— night 
 of Aug. 4, 1789 ; 
 
 b. the veto power. 
 
 6. Second court plot (or justifiable suspicion of one "O 
 Richard, O my king! ") leads to The March of the Maenads- 
 and the removal of the king and Assembly to Paris, Oct. 5,. 
 1789. 
 
a. 2nd and main flight of emigrants \ The Desertion 
 
 b. Secession of the Right / of the Nobility. 
 
 c. Increase of popular influence over the Assembly 
 (shifting of parties). 
 
 1) The Clubs and Salons. 
 
 2) The Galleries and street mobs. 
 
 7. The Constitution. 
 Civil equality. 
 
 Extreme decentralization with an "orgie of elections" 
 (clerg}', judges, and officers of the National guard). 
 
 Political power, by system of property qualifications and 
 indirect elections, in the hands of the bourgeoisie. 
 
 Abolition of privileges and titles — equality before the law; 
 trial bj' jur3'; freedom of conscience; freedom of the 
 press; elective legislature with responsiblegovernment, 
 pow^er of taxation, etc.; suspensive veto. 
 
 A constitutional monarchy resting on local self-govern- 
 ment. 
 
 8. Mirabeau and his plans; his death, April 2, '91, and ac- 
 cession of influence to the "thirt3-voices" (Robespierre). 
 
 9. The flight to Varennes, 
 
 a. Split of the patriots into Constitutional Monarchists 
 and Republicans. 
 
 b. "Massacre of the Champ du Mars." 
 
 c. General conservative tendency of the closing da3's of 
 the .\ssenibh'. 
 
 General result, to be more clearly seen after the close of this 
 first Assembly. — Not a revolution of government but a 
 dissolution of society; emergence of rascaldom, stupid- 
 ity, and fanaticism ; society to be terrorized and ruled 
 by minorities until finally reconstructed by Napoleon. 
 
 B. The Legislative Assembly, Sept. '91-Aug. '92. 
 
 1. Election. The conquest of the Jacobin clubs. Victory of 
 the "passive" citizens. The rule of minorities. (Terrorism 
 and lack of civic virtue). 
 
 2. The leading problems before the .Assembly for the first 
 months. 
 
 a. The recusants. 
 
 b. The emigrants. 
 
 The roA'al vetoes. 
 
 3. War. 
 
 a. Declaration ; attitude of parties ; international re- 
 lations preceding the Padua letter and declaration 
 of Pilnitz; the plot of the emigrants at Coblentz ; 
 royal vetoes paralyze national action.

 1) The invasion ; tlie armed petition, June 20. 
 
 2) Brunswick's proclamation. Revolution of Aug. 
 10, and the first an-est of suspects. 
 
 3) Fall of Longw y and Verdun ; the September 
 Massacres.

 Committee of Public Safety and adoption of policy 
 of "Terror." 
 
 Further influence in financial and economic measures under 
 
 the Convention. 
 Still more important influence in spreading the Revolution; 
 
 it becomes a propaganda. 
 
 C. The Convention, '92-'95. 
 
 1. First Period. 
 
 a. The Republic and universal suffrage.

 c. Religious — (the Concordat) — ultramontanism. 
 
 d. Economic — the peasantry, land, trade. 
 
 2. To Europe at the time, 
 a. Political. 
 
—13— 
 
 b. Civil and economic. 
 The wars of the Republic and of Napoleon — motives and 
 
 characteristics. 
 
 G. Later results. 
 
 We ma\' note, to siim up, three chief principles of the Revolu- 
 tion. 
 
 1. Civil liberty. 
 
 2. Political libertj^ — constructively, democracy ; destructively, 
 
 the abolition of monarchies by divine right; government 
 must be by as well as for the people. 
 
 3. Nationality, as opposed to the medieval idea of a State. 
 
 Napoleon, as the last of the benevolent despots, maintains 
 the first, temporarily suppresses the second, and tries to 
 use the third selfishly and deceitfully, but "finds it a 
 boomerang." 
 Or: The French Revolution estnblished the principles of 
 civil libertv, and prepared the way for the two great 
 movements of this century — National Autonomy and 
 "Triumphant Democracy." 
 "The histor\' of the nineteenth century is precisely the histor\^ 
 of all the work the Revolution did leave. The Revolution was a 
 creating force, even more than a destro3'ing one; it was an inex- 
 haustible source of fertile influences; it not only cleared theground 
 of the old society, but it manifested all the elements of the new so- 
 ciet3^" — Frederic Harrison. 
 
 Note that the constructive influences could not be seen in 
 proper proportion until after 1848.

 [The "Eastern Question"— the Balkan Question, the Egyptian 
 Question, the Central Asiatic Question, the Southeastern Question. 
 Parties to each. Originally the Eastern Question meant— what 
 shall be done with the lands in Southeastern Europe, from which 
 the Turk is or will be driven ? Three elements of difficulty : 1) the 
 Turk; 2) the greed of the great European powers (Russia, Austria, 
 England); 3) the rivalries, jealousies, and characteristics of the 
 
Correspondence 
 of races. 
 
 native populations. The explanation of this last to be sought in 
 the history of those lands.]

 1 . Lack of amalgamation of races before the Turkish invasion 
 
 West. East. 
 
 Iberian \ ( Albanian 
 Kelt / 1 Greek

 due perhaps to

 its re-action upon barbarous invaders. 
 
 b. Permanence of Greek political power at Constantinople. 
 
 c. Absence of political genius in the Slav to organize na- 
 tional states(?) 
 
 2. Later invasion of the Turk and his character. 
 
 B. Result. 
 
 All distinctions of race and creed more persistent ; aggregates 
 of peoples rather than nations; national type hardly formed; 
 enmity of neighboring states. (Austro-Hungary intermedi- 
 ate in character, as vi'ell as geographically, betv^'een Western 
 and Eastern Europe.)
