The fundamental preparation for seeing a country should be a knpwlcdge of its history. Under the art and literature of a people is till' foundation of its histon·. L'nfortunatcly, mo~t oi 11s were taught history in air-tight . compartments: when the Long Parliament was sitting in England we shou ld have heen surprised to learn that there existed across tht Channel a country called France. ~I r. \\'ells realized this and t ricd to remc<h· it with his Outline, which, though good, is very \Vellsia11. Perhaps a better and an easier way to get the feeling of that sweeping flow of history through the ages is in a hook by Geoffn·y Parsons, "The Stream <li History, " published last year. ~I r .
