With the publication of Western Civilization: The Decline of
Rome to 1660 (Chicago: J. B. Lippincott & Co., 1942, pp. 783,
map, $3.25) under the editorship of Walter Consuelo Langsam,
the J. B. Lippincott Co. has put out a new textbook on a stand-
ard college course. The authors are Francis J. Tschan of Penn-
sylvania State College, Harold J. Grimm of Ohio State Univer-
sity, and J. Duane Squires of Colby Junior College. The book
is divided into four parts entitled The Early Middle Ages,
Feudal Times, Europe in the Late Middle Ages (1300-1500),
and The Early Modern Era (1500-1660). There are twenty-
five maps, some illustrations, and a considerable number of
reproductions of famous paintings. "The marginal paragraph
headings are intended to indicate the topics developed and to
serve, together with the detailed table of contents, as an out-
line guide for review." A bibliographical list and index com-
prising ninety-three pages complete the book.
