SPECTATOR.—“This book will be of great use to teachers in schools where the language and literature of Hellas are properly cultivated, as well as to University tutors, and is quite within the intellectual grasp of ordinary undergraduates, to whom we earnestly recommend it.”
A HANDBOOK OF GREEK AND ROMAN COINS. By George F. Hill, M.A., British Museum. 9s. [Ready.
ATHENÆUM.—“Quite worthy of the traditions of the British Museum Coin Room.... We cannot too much praise the fifteen beautiful plates of photographic reproductions which close this book. Mr. Hill has collected the flower of all Greek and Roman art in this small compass.”
LITERATURE.—“Mr. Hill has succeeded very deftly in providing exactly the type of information of which the student so often stands in need. The volume forms an admirable conspectus of the monetary history of Greece and Rome in less than 800 pages.”
THE DESTRUCTION OF ANCIENT ROME: A History of the Monuments. By Rodolfo Lanciani, University of Rome. 6s. [Ready.
GUARDIAN.—“We are glad to learn from the preface to this volume that the professor has in contemplation an extensive work on the latter part of this subject, the ‘History of the Excavations,’ and meanwhile the present instalment will be welcomed by all who have felt the fascination of the story of the survival or destruction of the ancient monuments.”
WESTMINSTER BUDGET.—“A most enlightening little work, which gives a real insight into the scholarly and scientific method on which modern excavation proceeds.”
ROMAN PUBLIC LIFE. By A. H. J. Greenidge, M.A., Hertford College, Oxford. 10s. 6d. [Ready.
SPECTATOR.—“Both logical in arrangement and lucid in exposition. And its subject is most wisely chosen, because it is the public life of the Romans which has been an example to all time.”
PILOT.—“The style of the book is throughout clear and interesting, and at the same time many minute and debatable points are carefully discussed, and almost every statement is supported by references to original authorities, or better still, by quotations from them. It is a healthy sign that English scholarship is now able to produce such books as this.”
