racteristics of the age and people affected. 3. Hegel (1770-1831) carried the theory of Herder to more complete conclusions. 4. Niebuhr (1776-1831), "one of the most acute historical critics and philologists of modern times." Niebuhr was among the first to emphasize the need of a critical examination of source material, and of the building up the past out of these data. 5. Ranke, Leopold von (1795-1886). His aim was to set before the reader the entire picture of events "with their causes, relations, and consequences." 6. Guizot, Francois P. G. (1787-1874). His great influence was in extending the scope of history so as to include universal history, not merely national history, or the history of isolated and local events. 7. Carlyle (1795-1881), through his keen insight into character and his love of hero-worship, introduced the vividly realistic and picturesque element. 8. Buckle (1821-1862) included economic forces in his studies and sought the spirit of history apart from particular men and events. 9. Macaulay (1800-1859) presented historical philosophy and the laws and theories of government in eloquent and fascinating style, thus bringing to the popular mind an interest that had heretofore been slight. 10. Froude (1818-1894), in charming literary style but with carelessness of detail, emphasized the personal element in history and set himself the ideal of "simply recording human actions without theorizing theron." 11. Stubbs (1825-1901) "introduced the critical study of mediaeval sources into England," employed exact methods of work, and gave impetus to constitutional history. 12. Green (1837-1883) depicted the progress of the life of the people and dealt only incidentally with the political history of the state. 13. Schmoller (1838- ) emphasized the economic aspects of history. VI. _History in the Curriculum._ 1. Pre-Renaissance Period: Incidental historical study made in connection with the study of biography and literature. 2. Renaissance Period: Historical studies pursued as auxiliary to the interpretation of the classics. 3. Post-Renaissance Period in Europe. (_a_) Heraldry and local, contemporary historical incidents and events taught in Ritterakedemien after 1648. (_b_) In Germany, the systematic study of history in schools really dates from about 1806, though an independent status was given history in the universities (particularly in Goet
