Including Egypt, Assyria, and Babylonia, Persia, India, Phœnicia. Etruria, Greece, Rome. By George Rawlinson, M.A., author of “The Origin of Nations,” etc. 1 vol., 12mo, $1.

Canon Rawlinson’s great learning and his highly esteemed contributions to the history of the ancient world qualify him to treat the subject of this volume with a breadth of view and accuracy of knowledge that few other writers can lay claim to. The treatise is not intended to give an exhaustive view of the ancient religions, but to enable students of history to gain a more accurate knowledge of the inner life of the ancient world.
