The best short accounts of the barbarian inva- sions are TLwERrrott, Introduction to the Middle Ages, chaps, i-vii, and THORNDIKE, History of Medieval Europe, chaps, iii and v. OMAN, The Dark Ages, gives a somewhat fuller narrative of the events. ADAMS, G. B., Civilization during the Middle Ages, chaps, i, ii, iv, and v, discusses the general conditions and results. HODGKIN, the author of an extensive work in eight volumes on Italy and her Invaders, has written two small works, Dynasty of Theodosius and Theodoric the Goth. SERGEANT, The Franks. Every historical student should gain some acquaintance with the celebrated historian GIBBON. Although his Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire was written about a century and a half ago, ft is still of great interest and is incomparable in its style. The best edi- tion is published by The Macmillan Company. The Cambridge Mediaeval I/is- tory, by various writers, devotes its first volume to the period in question. The textbook and the collateral reading should always be supplemented by examples of contemporaneous material. ROBINSON, Readings in European His- tory, Vol. I (from the barbarian invasions to the opening of the sixteenth cen- tury) and Vol. II (from the opening of the sixteenth century to the early twentieth century), arranged to accompany chapter by chapter ROBINSON'S Introduction to the History of Western Europe, will be found especially useful in furnishing extracts which reenforce the narrative together with extensive bibliographies and topical references. For extracts relating to the barbarian invasions, see ROBINSON, Readings, Vol. I, pp. 28-55 ! OGG, A Source Book of Mediceval History, chaps, i-iv. Much
