GUARDIAN.—“A delightful volume which will attract and interest any educated and thoughtful reader.”
SPEAKER.—“This delightful book, which leads us by the plain path of the calendar, illuminating every step with now a curious parallel from Samoa, now a pretty tale from Ovid, now an observation made in Oxfordshire. And it is not of every work that you can say with truth that it is the work of a scholar, a gentleman, a philosopher, a naturalist, and an understanding lover of the country.”
ACADEMY.—“A book with which every student of Roman religion will have to make his account.... Alike as a storehouse of critically sifted facts and as a tentative essay towards the synthetic arrangement of these facts, Mr. Fowler’s book seems to us to mark a very distinct advance upon anything that has yet been done.”

THE CITY-STATE OF THE GREEKS AND ROMANS
ATHENÆUM.—“From cover to cover the book is readable and instructive, and to the general reader it should prove as attractive as a novel.”
SPECTATOR.—“On the ‘city-state’ Mr. Warde Fowler gives us a very valuable discussion.”
WESTMINSTER REVIEW.—“The best recent English work on the subject.”
MORNING POST.—“Mr. Fowler’s well-written and excellently arranged treatise will be valued not only for the information which it contains, but for the light which it throws on various historical questions.”
