=Gibbon.= THE DECLINE AND FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE. By EDWARD GIBBON. A
New Edition, edited with Notes and Appendices and Maps by J. B.
BURY, M.A., Fellow of Trinity College, Dublin. _In seven volumes.
Crown 8vo._
The time seems to have arrived for a new edition of Gibbon’s great
work—furnished with such notes and appendices as may bring it up to
the standard of recent historical research. Edited by a scholar who
has made this period his special study, and issued in a convenient
form and at a moderate price, this edition should fill an obvious
void.
=Flinders Petrie.= A HISTORY OF EGYPT, FROM THE EARLIEST TIMES TO THE
HYKSOS. By W. M. FLINDERS PETRIE, D.C.L., Professor of Egyptology at
University College. _Fully Illustrated. Crown 8vo. 6s._
This volume is the first of an illustrated History of Egypt in six
volumes, intended both for students and for general reading and
reference, and will present a complete record of what is now known,
both of dated monuments and of events, from the prehistoric age down
to modern times. For the earlier periods every trace of the various
kings will be noticed, and all historical questions will be fully
discussed. The volumes will cover the following periods;—
I. Prehistoric to Hyksos times. By Prof. Flinders Petrie. II.
xviiith to xxth Dynasties. III. xxist to xxxth Dynasties. IV.
The Ptolemaic Rule. V. The Roman Rule. VI. The Muhammedan Rule.
The volumes will be issued separately. The first will be ready in
the autumn, the Muhammedan volume early next year, and others at
intervals of half a year.
