New Course in Italian History.

A new graduate course in Italian history will be given next year by Mr. R. M. Johnston. It will extend through the whole year, and will count as one course. The course will take up general Italian history in the nineteenth century since Napoleon I, emphasizing the revival of national spirit as seen in the Risorgimento (Resurrection) movement, 1830-1840.

Mr. Johnston is an Englishman, and has spent several years studying in Italy. This is his second year here. He is the author of "Napoleon: A Short Biography," just announced by A. S. Barnes & Co., New York.
