Those who have been interested in the description of the Colec-
cidn de Memorias de Nueva Espaiia in the Nation of May 30, 1901,

VII, No. 1) contains articles by an able corps of writers on a wide
range of subjects. Goldwin Smith, in The Age of Homer, aims to
locate the Homeric period through a study of its political, social,
and msthetic conditions. He concludes from evidence of this nature

later than is now generally believed. In Anglo-Saxon Feudalism,
George Burton Adams, applying a strict definition to the term
"feudalism," concludes that, in its essential characteristics, this

Maitland, in his Domesday Book and Beyond. Charles W. Colby,
in The Jesuit Relations, reviews editor Thwaites's great work and
discusses critically the historical value of the sources in question.
