Edited by Professors BENNETT and ROLFE. 12mo, cloth, 922 pages. Price, $2.00.

In these volumes each poem is preceded by a careful analysis giving in a line or two all necessary information regarding the subject, date, and metre. Each volume is prefaced by a scholarly discussion of the life and work of Horace, his metres, and language. The commentary is concise, accurate, and eminently judicious, in all cases telling the student all he needs to know, and never telling him more than he needs, or more than he will understand and appreciate.

THE MOSTELLARIA OF PLAUTUS.

With introduction and Notes by Professor EDWIN W. FAY, of the University of Texas. 12mo, cloth, 204 pages. Price, $1.00.

The introduction contains a careful and comprehensive analysis of the versification and dialect of Plautus, together with a description of his style. The notes are designedly full; in the matter of translation they aim to reproduce the metaphor or turn of thought of the original.

Professor Morris H. Morgan, Harvard University: We have long wanted an edition of this play suited to the use of students in American Colleges, and I am happy to find that Professor Fay's book seems likely to fill this want in the most acceptable manner. I am particularly pleased with his treatment of the dialect of Plautus in the introduction, and with the many parallels drawn from the Elizabethan drama which I find in the notes of this scholarly edition.

Professor William K. Dennison, Tufts College, Mass.: I have taken great pleasure in the examination of Fay's Mostellaria. It seems to me to be a most excellent piece of work. I shall certainly use it when I read the play in my classes.

LIVY, BOOKS I., XXI., AND XXII.

With Introduction and Notes by Professor J. H. WESTCOTT, Princeton University. 12mo, cloth, 426 pages. Price, $1.25.

An attempt has been made in this volume to present in simple and convenient form the assistance needed by young students making their first acquaintance with Livy.

The editor's experience in the class-room has led him to annotate the text copiously. On the other hand, that fulness of illustration which apparently aims to supersede the function of the teacher has been carefully avoided.

Professor James H. Dillard, Tulane University, New Orleans, La.: I should like to say that Westcott's Livy is the most satisfactory text-book that I know of. Other works may put on a greater show of learning; but when one comes to every-day class-room use, the editing of this text is found to be exceptionally satisfactory.

HIS book is in complete harmony with the report of the

It deals with the Eastern nations and with the Greeks, Romans, and Teutons, the elements from which the modern world has grown. Its aim is to show the continuity of history. Little space is given to legends, or to anecdotes, or to wars; attention is directed to the growth of society, to the development of institutions, to the fusion of peoples.

The book is accepted as marking a new epoch in the study of History in this country.

Professor C. W. A. Veditz, Bates College, Lewiston, Maine: I like the book because it does not waste any time over the mere curiosities of history. I like it because it puts wars into the background and institutions into the foreground. I like it because it is well balanced; because it breaks away from traditions, where traditions have had nothing but age to recommend them; because it omits the ephemeral and accidental incidents, and emphasizes the lasting influences of ancient history; because it contains frequent, well-chosen quotations from the best authorities, and thus inspires a desire to read further.

Principal H. P. Warren, Albany Academy, Albany, N. Y.: I have read it from cover to cover with critical interest. The book is remarkable for breadth of scholarship and skill in treatment. How a man can cover so much ground, and with proper emphasis, in 500 pages, is beyond my ken. All facts relating to a nation are always before him, and he marshals them as a great general arranges a great army. Professor George S. Goodspeed, University of Chicago, Chicago, Ill.: West's Ancient History is evidently the work of an experienced and skillful teacher. My attention has been specially caught by the admirable organization and selection of material, as well as by the skill and general accuracy of presentation. It will occupy a high place among the textbooks of its class.

Professor D. M. Fisk, Washburn College, Topeka, Kansas: West's Ancient History is more than mere annals; it is the rarer thing-historical interpretation, a chapter out of the evolution of human progress. Wisely minimizing the details of battles, the personal chronicles of courts, it emphasizes the broadly human, the economic, the social. Its abundance of exquisite maps would by themselves win study.
