The series includes Italy, by H. Leo; Netherlands, by Van Kampen; Denmark, by Dahlmann (to 1523); Sweden, by Geijer and Carlson (to 1680); Poland, by Roepell, etc.

Heeren Handbuch d. Gesch. d. europäisch. Staatensystems u. seiner Colonien. 5th ed. Göttingen, 1830. Engl. Translation by Bancroft, 2 vols. 8vo. 1829; also, 2 vols., Oxford, 1834. Von Raumer: Gesch. Europas seit d. Ende d. 15. Jahrh. Leipzig, 1832-50. 8 vols. 8vo.

1 This catalogue comprises, of course, only a fractional part of the historical literature pertaining to the subject. Not to speak of works of a broader scope, there are, in Germany especially, numerous local histories relating to this period. In preparing the list above, care has been taken to set down the proper editions; but it is almost imposible to attain to absolute correctness in these particulars.

Hallam: Introduction to the Lit. of Europe, in the 15th, 16th, and 17th centuries. 5th ed. 3 vols. 8vo. 1855-56.

RANKE: Fürsten u. Völker v. Südeuropa im 16. u. 17. Jahrh. Bd. I. Berlin, 1827. Die röm. Päpste, ihre Kirche u. ihr Staat im. 16. u. 17. Jahrh. 3 vols. 4th ed. Berlin, 1854-57. 8vo. Translated by Sarah Austin: History of the Popes of Rome during the 16th and 17th centuries. 4th ed. 3 vols. London, 1867. 8vo. This is one of the most correct and elegant of all English translations from the German. The work itself is of the highest value. For Ranke's other works on this period see under the different countries.

L. HÄUSSER: Geschichte d. Zeitalters d. Reformation (1517-1648). Berlin, 1868. 8vo. Valuable, especially for the political side of the history of this period.

Duruy Hist. des Temps Modernes. 1 vol. Paris, 1863. 12mo. One of a series of lucid and compact text-books, for use in the schools of France.

Bayle: Dictionnaire historique et critique (1st ed. 1697), 4 vols. Fol. Basel and Amsterdam, 1740. Engl. ed., 10 vols., fol., 1734–41.

Bayle, the son of a Huguenot clergyman, was born in 1647, and died in 1706. Under the influence of Jesuits, he became a Roman Catholic, but repented of this change, and became one of the pioneers of philosophical scepticism in Europe. Its great amount of interesting historical and biographical details, though requiring to be critically sifted, gives to his Dictionary a peculiar and permanent value.

Döllinger: Die Reformation, ihre innere Entwickelung u. ihre Wirkungen. 3 vols. Regensburg, 1848. The work is carried no farther than the "Umfang des lutherischen Bekenntnisses."

Transl. from the Spanish. 8vo. Baltimore, 1851. An elaborate controversial work in reply to Guizot's Lectures on Civilization, by a Spanish Priest.

Sleidan was born at Sleida, near Cologne, in 1506. After completing his education, he lived for a number of years in France, was in the service of Francis I., and the interpreter of his embassy at Hagenau (1540). In 1542, he entered the service of the Smalcaldic League, and in 1545 was commissioned by it to write a history of the Reformation. He accompanied a Protestant embassy to England; went, in 1551, to the Council of Trent, as a commissioner from Strasburg, and in 1554, in the same capacity to the Conference of Nuremberg. He was versed in literature, law, and political science, of a dispassionate, judicial temper, and careful in his researches.
