No other work written upon these subjects in English during the past twenty years is as valuable as this elaborate compendium. * * * It should be found in the library of every scholar and student.—N. Y. World.
Among recently published works designed to aid in the attainment of sound classical scholarship, there have been few that are so well adapted to their purpose as this. * * * To his task he has brought the qualifications of his own fine and approved scholarship, his practical knowledge of the exact wants of the class for whom he writes, and a thorough familiarity with the general literature of the subject.—N. Y. Evening Post.
By far the best account of the literature of Greece that has hitherto appeared in English. * * * It is emphatically a good book, a worthy introduction to the noblest of all literatures, and a grateful boon to ripe scholars, no less than to the younger students for whom it is expressly intended. Mr. Mahaffy’s chief merit is the great verve and animation with which he handles his subject.—Pall Mall Gazette, London.
It is a work of immense learning and practical value. Indeed, it is a complete hand-book of Greek classical literature, giving the results of the research and speculations of the best German and French, as well as English, scholars, and stating his own conclusions with a modesty which inspires confidence, especially as they are supported by thorough knowledge of the subject and ample reasons. There is no work in the English language covering the same ground.—Evangelist, N. Y.
