CRITICAL NOTICES.
“In this magnificent volume we have finally the story of Dr. Schliemann’s last and most important discoveries. He has been the most fortunate of archæological explorers; for even a greater luck than rewarded him in the Troad has fallen to his portion in Argolis. * * * We suspect that the final verdict of scholars will that Dr. Schliemann has actually discovered the remains of the man, some part of whose history, at least, is preserved in the Agamemnon of Homer and Æschylus.”—The N. Y. Tribune.
“Dr. Schliemann’s book is worth all the prolegomens and commentaries upon Homer that have been written since the revival of learning.”—The Boston Globe.
“The interest of the work is not confined to either England or America. Every enlightened nation will welcome it, for it opens up a new world to the modern generation. No work of the time has attracted wider attention.”—Boston Post.
“This splendid volume is a museum of itself which every lover of history and classical literature will feel that he must possess, and which any intelligent reader is competent to understand and enjoy by means of its abundant and truly splendid illustrations.”—Buffalo Commercial Advertiser.
“Dr. Schliemann has made the most important contribution of the present century to Greek archæology.”—The Nation.
“We commend the volume, with its admirable typography and multitudinous illustrations, to the attention of our readers, assuring them that they will find it possessed of a rare and enduring interest.”—Boston Journal.
“We add our testimony in saying that a copy of Mycenæ is necessary to the library of every scholar, and—which is no mean praise—that the printing and illustrations of this work are worthy of the matter.”—Baltimore Gazette.
