PART I GENERAL AUTHORITIES CHAPTER I INTRODUCTORY § 1. HISTORICAL METHOD. The most elaborate and valuable treatise is Bernheim's. The best book in English is Berry's translation of the work of Langlois and Seignobos. For additions to the following list, see Bernheim, 177-80; and G. S. Hall, Hints toward a Select Bibliography of Education (Boston, 1886), 140-49. There is a periodical bibliography, since 1888, in Jahresberichte (No. 22), vol. xi., etc. I. ACTON, J. E. E. D.
