SOME PRESS NOTICES

GUARDIAN.—“Professor Bury may be heartily congratulated on the successful performance of a most difficult task. He has written a thoroughly satisfactory History of Greece in a single volume, and produced a book of value not only for students at school and at the Universities, but also for scholars of maturer years and judgment.”

SATURDAY REVIEW.—“Professor Bury has supplied a real want. At last we have to hand in a single volume a History of Greece which is at once comprehensive, critical, and up to date—a history, moreover, which may be read not only with profit but with pleasure.... Will, no doubt, be found useful even by specialists. To schoolmasters and tutors it is a veritable Godsend.”

SPECTATOR.—“Told with such clearness, fulness, and sense of proportion that the book will stand as a model for a one-volume history, rivalled only by J. R. Green’s similar work on the English people.... It has all the qualities of accuracy, lucidity, and art in arrangement which are the special merits of a short history. The book also contains numerous excellent illustrations.”

PILOT.—“Recognising in Professor Bury exceptional erudition, untiring industry, brilliant scholarship, and a marked genius for historical study, we expected much from his History of Greece. We may say in a word our expectations are more than realised.”

CLASSICAL REVIEW.—“Mr. Bury’s volumes are an important and valuable contribution to our knowledge of a period the history of which has been too much neglected by scholars.”

ATHENÆUM.—“This scholarly and vigorous work.”

EDINBURGH REVIEW.—“His illustrative matter is, on the whole, ample and correct.”

OXFORD MAGAZINE.—“The bright and attractive chapters on literature and on social life, which are scattered among the more solid matter, deserve a word of special praise.”
