THE ABOVE TWO VOLUMES BOUND IN ONE. PRICE
The present manuals of Greek and Roman Antiquities are far superior to any thing on the same tovics as yet offered to the American public. A principal Review of Germany says of the Roman Manual :—‘‘ Small as the compass of it is, we may confidently affirm that it is a great improvement «on all preceding works of the kind). We no longer meet with the wretched old method, in which subjects essentially distinct are herded together, and connected subjects disconnected, but have a timale, systematic arrangement, by which the reader easily receives a clear representation of Roman life. We no longer stumble against countless errors in detail, which, though long ago assailed and extirpated by Niebuhr and others, have found their last place of refuge in our Manuals. The recent investigations of Philologists and jurists have been extensively, but carefully and circum tpectly used. The conciseness and precision which the author has every where prescribed to himself. @ events the superficial observer from perceiving the essential superiority of the book to its prede- #seors, but whoever subjects it to a careful examination will discover this on every page.’”
The Editor says :—‘‘1 fully believe that the pupil will reccive from these little works a correct fxd tolerably complete picture of Grecian and Roman life; what I may call the POLITICAL por @ ns—the account of the national constitutions and their effects—appear to me to be of great
ane’ and the very moderate extent of each volume admits of its being thoroughly mastered —of being 40T UP and RETAINED.’’ From Professor Lincoin, of Brown University.
1 found on my table after a short absence from home, your edition of Bojesen s Greek and Ro mau Antiquities. Dray accept my acknowledgments for it. I am agreeably surprised to find on examining it, that within so very narrow a compass fo- so comprehensive a subject. the book conæins 30 much valuable matter. and indeed so far as I see, omits noticing no eopics essential. It will be a very useful book in Schools and Colleges, and it is far superior to any thing that 1 kaow of the same kind. Besides being cheap and accessible to all students it has {” - grea/. merit of #acassing its topics in a consecutive an connected manner.’’
