A History of Classical Greek Literature.

By J. P. MAHAFFY.

2 vols., 12mo, Cloth, $4 00.

A survey of the whole field of the Greek classical literature, including the prose as well as the poetry, treating in a general way its life and growth and the mutual relations of its various masterpieces. * * * A clear, simple, and accurate statement of general facts and principles, bringing the whole of the immense subject into one connected view.—N. Y. Times.

No other work written upon these subjects in English during the past twenty years is as valuable as this elaborate compendium. * * * It should be found in the library of every scholar and student.—N. Y. World.

Among recently published works designed to aid in the attainment of sound classical scholarship, there have been few that are so well adapted to their purpose as this. * * * To his task he has brought the qualifications of his own fine and approved scholarship, his practical knowledge of the exact wants of the class for whom he writes, and a thorough familiarity with the general literature of the subject.—N. Y. Evening Post.

By far the best account of the literature of Greece that has hitherto appeared in English. * * * It is emphatically a good book, a worthy introduction to the noblest of all literatures, and a grateful boon to ripe scholars, no less than to the younger students for whom it is expressly intended. Mr. Mahaffy’s chief merit is the great verve and animation with which he handles his subject.—Pall Mall Gazette, London.

It is a work of immense learning and practical value. Indeed, it is a complete hand-book of Greek classical literature, giving the results of the research and speculations of the best German and French, as well as English, scholars, and stating his own conclusions with a modesty which inspires confidence, especially as they are supported by thorough knowledge of the subject and ample reasons. There is no work in the English language covering the same ground.—Evangelist, N. Y.

STUDIES OF THE GREEK POETS.

BY

JOHN ADDINGTON SYMONDS.

Revised and Enlarged by the Author.

2 vols., Square 16mo, Cloth, $3 50.

Mr. Symonds has here brought his rich classical learning and excellent critical taste to the illustration of the Greek poets, forming an admirable introduction to that branch of ancient literature. * * * Apart from the original criticisms and bright descriptive passages which give an uncommon value and attractiveness to these volumes, they abound in liberal specimens of translations by different writers, which form a highly agreeable body of poetry, and present a peculiar and striking illustration of a department of English literature not very widely known to general readers.—N. Y. Tribune.

A book which has scarcely a parallel in recent English literature, and which will bear comparison with the highest achievements of German scholarship and criticism. Indeed, the “Studies” may almost be said to be unique in their combination of wide knowledge and minute research, with a mastery of the literary art which alone would suffice to command our warmest admiration. * * * Our notice would be incomplete without a cordial word of praise for Professor Symonds’s spirited and elegant translations of select passages. These add incalculably to the value and interest of his work.—Appletons’ Journal, N. Y.

The great merit of Mr. Symonds’s writings is that, with all their charm and grace of style, there is real work behind them. It is this, in combination with other rarer gifts, which makes him so well fitted to interpret the ancient world to modern readers.—Academy, London.

While it is a book readily understood by every thoughtful reader, it will be of special interest to students who have given much time to the Greek language and literature. * * * We know of no hand-book of Greek poetry in English as satisfactory—as valuable as this.—New Haven Palladium.
