Dill, Samuel. [Roman society from Nero to Marcus Aurelius.] [*]$4. Macmillan.
“Prof. Samuel Dill, in his new volume ... deals principally with the inner moral life of the time, and gives very little space to its external history and the machinery of government. He treats at some length of the relation of the senate to the emperor in the first century, and the organization of the municipal towns. He also gives a complete survey of the literature and inscriptions of the period.” (N. Y. Times). Each page is supplied with explanatory and reference notes.
“He has mastered with praiseworthy assiduity every authority on his subject, old and new. Yet, though this material is ample, the author makes no attempt to co-ordinate it in such a way as to give the reader a picture of the age as a whole, and of the great psychological laws which governed its development.”

“In view of the great importance of this book, and the certainty that it will be regarded as the best work on this period in English, we have taken some trouble to collect matter which will help towards its improvement.”
