“The introductory chapter on the geography and history of the lily is particularly interesting, as well as the treatise upon diseases and insect pests—that closes the book.” Mabel Osgood Wright.

“The great value of the book, however, is that it enables one without much trouble to get a conspectus of the whole lily-group. A much too ambitious title.”

Gomperz, Theodor. Greek thinkers: a history of ancient philosophy. v. 2 and 3. ea. [*]$4. Scribner.
Volume I covered the period of Greek philosophy previous to Socrates, volumes II. and III. contain a discussion of Socrates, his life, his followers, and the great philosophical movement which he fathered; also an account of Plato and his philosophy. 13 chapters are given wholly to a critical analysis of the course and structure of Plato’s works.
“It will admirably serve the purpose of the general reader who is interested in philosophy as an element in the history of human culture. And for the technical student who has mastered some of the more rigorous treatises, it will be useful in completing and vivifying his picture of the great thinkers of Greece.” Walter G. Everett.

“It may be said with confidence that Prof. Gomperz has succeeded admirably in accomplishing his design of composing ‘a comprehensive picture’ of the development of Greek thought, in which the historical setting of the narrative, the background of the picture, is ‘not unduly contracted.’ It is written in a vigorous, lively style.”
