SPECTATOR.—“Told with such clearness, fulness, and sense of proportion that the book will stand as a model for a one-volume history, rivalled only by J. R. Green’s similar work on the English people.... It has all the qualities of accuracy, lucidity, and art in arrangement which are the special merits of a short history. The book also contains numerous excellent illustrations.”
PILOT.—“Recognising in Professor Bury exceptional erudition, untiring industry, brilliant scholarship, and a marked genius for historical study, we expected much from his History of Greece. We may say in a word our expectations are more than realised.”

ATHENÆUM.—“This scholarly and vigorous work.”
EDINBURGH REVIEW.—“His illustrative matter is, on the whole, ample and correct.”
OXFORD MAGAZINE.—“The bright and attractive chapters on literature and on social life, which are scattered among the more solid matter, deserve a word of special praise.”
