PERIODS OF EUROPEAN HISTORY PERIOD I., 476-918 Periods of European History General Editor, ARTHUR HASSALL, M.A., Student of Christ Church, Oxford. Crown 8vo. With Maps and Plans. The object of this series is to present in separate Volumes a comprehensive and trustworthy account of the general development of European History, and to deal fully and carefully with the more prominent events in each century. It is believed that no such attempt to place the History of Europe before the English Public has yet been made, and it is hoped that the Series will form a valuable continuous History of MediÆval and Modern Europe.
