HIS 103Y
2009-2010
TUTORIAL THEMES AND RECOMMENDED READINGS: PART ONE:
1648-1815
Students are requested to try to consult some of the readings
recommended for a particular tutorial meeting in advance of its
occurrence. It is hoped that the provision of a number of
possible readings for each weekly tutorial topic may help
distribute our large class across available library resources.
During the first two weeks of the academic session, before
tutoria1 c1asses begin, students can further their understanding
of the subject-matter and ana1ytica1 sty1e of HIS103Y by reading
pp. 1-42 of Derek McKay and H.M. Scott's The Rise of the Great
Powers, 1648-1815 (D273.5 .M36 TRIN) and pp. 1-104 of John Lynn's

Lacey (eds.), The Making of Peace, pp71-99 (2-Hour STL: SMYTH FILE
