"His [Merivale's] history is a great work in itself, and it must be a very great work indeed which can outdo it within its own range. In days of licensed blundering like ours, it is delightful indeed to come across the sound and finished scholarship; the unwearied and unfailing accuracy, of Mr. Merivale. … On some points we hold that Mr. Merivale's views are open to dispute; but it is, always his views, never his statements." E. A. Freeman, Historical Essays; page. 309.

The Provinces, from Cæsar to Diocletian. London: R. Bentley & Son. 1886.

"The Roman History of Mommsen is, beyond all doubt, to be ranked among those really great historical works which do so much honour to our own day. We can have little doubt as to calling it the best complete Roman History that we have. … We have now, for the first time, the whole history of the Roman Republic really written in a way worth of the greatness of the subject." E. A. Freeman, Historical Essays, pages. 239-240.

Polybios, "the historian of the Decline and Fall of Ancient Greece," "is like a writer of our own times; with far less of inborn genius, he possessed a mass of acquired knowledge of which Thucydides could never have dreamed. He had, like a modern historian, read many books and seen many lands. … He had, himself personally a wider political experience than fell to the lot of any historian before or after him. … He could remember Achaia a powerful federation, Macedonia a powerful monarchy, Carthage still free, Syria still threatening; he lived to see them all subject provinces or trembling allies of the great municipality Rome." E. A. Freeman, History of Federal Government, page 226.

The annals of Tacitus extend over most of the period from the death of Augustus to Nero, with important parts lost. The fragments preserved of the history gives us only four and a half out of fourteen books which made up the original work. These books contain the history of the years 69 and 70, not quite complete, and tell the story of the Vitellian conflict.

THIRLWALL, CONNOP. History of Greece. London: Longmans. 1835. 8 volumes.

Bishop Thirlwall's History covers the whole national life of the Greeks, down to the Roman conquest. “The strength of Thirlwall as clearly lies in the history of Alexander and his successors as the strength of Grote lies in the political history of Athenian and Syracusan democracy, as the strength of Curtius lies in the geography, in the artistic side of things, in the general picture of that age which was the glory of Athens, but which, as the disciples of Finlay know, was an age of decline for Hellas in the wider sense." E. A. Freeman, The Methods of Historical Study, page 287.

"The student of to-day who is really intimate with Thirlwall's history may boast that he has a sound and accurate view of all the main questions in the political and social development of the Hellenic nation. But he will never have been carried away with enthusiasm." J. P. Mahaffy, Problems in Greek History, chapter 1.

THUCYDIDES. History; translated into English, with introduction and notes, by B. Jowett. Oxford: Clarendon Press. 1881. 2 volumes.

"Thucydides is much more than a great historian; or, rather, he was what every great historian ought to be—he was a profound philosopher. His history of the Peloponnesian War is like a portrait by Titian; the whole mind and character, the inner spirit and ideals, the very tricks and foibles, of the man or the age come before us in living reality. No more memorable, truthful and profound portrait exists than that wherein Thucydides has painted the Athens of the age of Pericles." Frederic Harrison, The Meaning of History, page 92.

TORR, CECIL. Rhodes in ancient times. Cambridge: University Press. 1885.

TROLLOPE, ANTHONY. Life of Cicero. London: Chapman & Hall. 1880. 2 volumes.
