NOTES
"Useful as a preparatory excursion before the reading of the author's much fuller and more explicit Outline of history is undertaken ... It is not an abstract or condensation of that former work"--Pref
"First critical edition of the Short history"--P. xxvii
"The present ... edition restores the original 1922 text, which has been completely reset, removing a number of misprints ... end-notes have been added ... amendments have been made to the text ... for greater clarity and consistency"--Note on the text
"First published 1922"--T.p. verso
