Bibliography v more extensive are the extracts given in HAYES, C. H., An Introduction to the Sources relating to the Germanic Invasions, 1909 (Columbia University Studies in History, Economics, and Public Law, Vol. XXXIII, No. 3). See also THATCHER and McNEAL, A Source Book for Mediaeval History. Constant use should be made of good historical atlases. By far the best and most convenient for the high school is SHEPHERD, WM. R., Historical Atlas, 1911 (see maps 43, 45, 48, 50-52). Dow, EARL E., Atlas of European History, 1907, also furnishes clear maps of the chief changes.
