Russian historian and jurist Sir Paul Vinogradoff (1854–1925) maintained throughout his life a serious scholarly interest in the history of Great Britain, his adopted country. Elected to a professorship at Oxford in 1903, to the British Academy in 1905, and knighted for services to the realm in increasing Anglo-Russian understanding during the war (1917), Vinogradoff demonstrates in this book of 1892 both his interest in feudal England and his historiographic approach, which relied on detailed research using primary sources to examine individuals, communities, and social structures. Divided into two essays - 'The Peasantry of the Feudal Age' and 'The Manor and the Village Community' - the work used England's extensive feudal records to draw a general character of the period. Villainage will interest students of English or European mediaeval history and scholars of mediaeval legal history and of developments in nineteenth-century historiography

44 p., 27 cm. ; Eduardo Paz was a Brigadier General in the Mexican Army during the 1910 revolution who wrote extensively on military matters, with a particular focus on modernization of equipment and strategy. His volume on the Mexican-American War is an early work and examines the differing approaches of the Mexican and United States armies on such basic questions as supply, drill exercises and tactics, communication during combat, and field engineering. Paz provides a detailed look at the actual order of battle for both sides, along with brief sketches of the leadership styles of Generals Winfield Scott and Santa Anna. Suggestions are made for a more scientific approach to the military education of junior officers and emphasis given to the importance of morale among the rank and file soldiery.
