Library Edition. Two Vols. 8vo. 25s. net. A THENVE. UAI.-" In every way worthy of the author's reputation, learned yet lucid, scholarly yet not too much given to a descent into superfluous minutie.... It would be hard to find a more useful book for the student who has grasped the outlines of the subject, and wishes to start on an inquiry into the sources from which the received narrative has been derived." SPEC7TATO'.-" It is the highest compliment we can pay Professor Bury's book to say that we are especially struck by its synoptic quality and the impression which it produces of the organic connection of all Greek history.... It has all the qualities of accuracy, lucidity, and art in arrangement, which are the special merits of a short history."
