Finland, Denmark, and Eomania. In large nations the effect of the national idea is to be seen in attempts to identify a distinctively national spirit running through the whole course of a nation's history, as in ]\Iartin and Green, or in attempts to prove a national spirit in spite of political division, as in Treitschke. Henri Martin (1810-83), published the first edition of his "Histoire de France" in 1833-34, and the third in 1855-60; his effort to find the key to French history in Celtic id...eas, the esprit gaulois; simplicity of his narrative. Other French writers of this national type, notably Augustin Thierry (1795-1856. ) John Richard Green (1837-83) shows a similar spirit in his "Short History of the English People, " published in 1874; his persistence in dwelling on the Teutonic element in early English history; his recognition of national as opposed to political history. Other English writers of this school are J. M. Kemble (1807-57) and E. A. Freeman (1823-92). In Germany the longing for German national unity is shown particularly in Heinrich Treitschke (1834-96), whose teaching of history in Berlin University, and whose ''German History in the Nineteenth Century, " had a great influence in promoting the belief in the historic unity of the German people.
