GOSSELIN, _Geographie des Grecs analysee_. Paris, 1790, 4to. A development of the system of mathematical geography among the Greeks. Partly continued in GOSSELIN, _Recherches sur la Geographie des Anciens_. Paris, an. vi. vol. 1-4. J. RENNEL, _Geographical System of Herodotus_. Lond. 1800, 4to. [Reprinted in 2 vols. 8vo. Lond. 1830, revised. Here, too, for the benefit of the English reader may be mentioned: RENNEL'S _Treatise on the Comparative Geography of Western Asia, with an atlas_. London, 1831, 2 vols. 8vo.; published since the author's death. And the learned and valuable volumes of Dr. CRAMER, principal of New Inn Hall, and public orator of the University of Oxford; they are, _Geographical and Historical Description of Ancient Greece, with a map, and plan of Athens._ Oxford, 1826, 3 vols. 8vo. _Geographical and Historical Description of Ancient Italy, with a map._ Oxford, 1826, 2 vols. 8vo. _Geographical and Historical Description of Asia Minor, with a map._ Oxford, 1832, 2 vols. 8vo. The maps which accompany these works approach very nearly to perfection. As useful compendiums, there are: _An Introduction to Ancient Geography, with copious indexes of Ancient and Modern Names_, by PETER ED. LAURENT, teacher in the Royal Naval Academy at Portsmouth. Oxford, 1813, 8vo. _A Compendium of Ancient and Modern Geography, for the use of Eton School; illustrating the most interesting points in History, Poetry, and Fable; preceded by an Introduction to the study of Astronomy, and containing plans of Athens, Rome, Syracuse, and numerous diagrams explanatory of the motions of the heavenly bodies_, by AARON ARROWSMITH, Hydrographer to the King, 1 vol. 8vo., with or without a copious index. London, 1830. BUTLER'S (Dr. SAM.) _Sketch of Ancient and Modern Geography_. Seventh edition, 8vo. Also his _Atlas of Ancient Geography_, consisting of twenty-one coloured maps, with a complete accentuated index. 8vo.] We are indebted to d'Anville for the best charts of ancient geography: _Atlas Orbis antiqui_, twelve leaves, fol. [The Eton Comparative Atlas of Ancient and Modern Geography, with the index, published in several sizes; and the Maps published by the Society for the Promotion of Useful Knowledge, are very useful and correct.] 15. Ancient history may be treated either ethnographically, that is, according to separate nations and states; or synchronistically, that is, according to certain general epochs. Each of these methods has its advantages and its disadvantages. The two, however, may be combined, and formed into one system; and as this seems the most convenient, it has been adopted in the present work, which is accordingly divided as follows: FIRST BOOK.--History of the ancient Asiatic and African states and kingdoms anterior to Cyrus, or to the rise of the Persian monarchy, about the year B. C. 560: comprising little more than insulated fragments.
