Excerpt from The Study of History in England and Scotland The unavoidable and indeed prudent delay of certain long-promised municipal studies and the very agreeable change of thought introduced by Mr. James Bryce in his recent paper on "The Predictions of Hamilton and De Tocqueville," have induced the editor to modify his plans for the remainder of the present Series. He takes great pleasure in presenting to his countrymen the interesting Notes and Impressions of Professor Paul Fredericq, of the University of Ghent, concerning Advanced Instruction in History in England and Scotland. These suggestive observations have been admirably translated into English by a former pupil, a graduate of Smith College, Miss Henrietta Leonard, of Philadelphia, the first lady contributor to these Studies. Professor Fredericq is the first contributor from the Continent, as Professors Bryce and Freeman were the first from England, and Dr. Bourinot the first from Canada. The Sixth Series in double numbers will be published together in a bound volume early in the year 1888 and will be entirely the work of Johns Hopkins University graduates. Subject: "The History Of Coöperation In The United States." Price $3.00, bound in cloth uniform with previous volumes. The entire set of Six Annual Series is now offered in a handsome Library Edition for $18.00; with the three Extra Volumes, "New Haven," "Baltimore," "Philadelphia," altogether nine volumes, $22.00.
