I. J. WERTHEIMER AND CO., PRINTERS, FINSBURY CIRCUS. WORKS PRINTED FOR WALTON AND MABERLY. UPPER GOWER STREET, AND IVY LANE, PATERNOSTER ROW. NIEBUHR’S LECTURES ON ANCIENT HISTORY. Comprising the History of the Asiatic Nations, the Egyptians, Greeks, Carthaginians, and Macedonians. Translated from the German by Dr. L. SCHMITZ. With additions from MSS. in the exclusive possession of the Editor. 3 vols. 8vo. £1 11_s._ 6_d._ The reader will find brief but graphic accounts of the Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Egyptians, and other Eastern nations; and in each case Niebuhr, before entering upon the history itself, gives a critical analysis of the authorities on which our knowledge is based. The history of Greece and other European countries is treated more minutely, and occupies more than half of the whole work. Literature, the arts, and the social and political conditions of the people, are described more graphically and minutely than in many other more voluminous works. In reference to Babylonia, Assyria, and Egypt, it is particularly interesting to notice, how clearly the historian foresaw and anticipated all the great discoveries which have since been made in those countries. A thousand points in the history of ancient nations, which have hitherto been either overlooked or accepted without inquiry, are here treated with sound criticism and placed in their true light. NIEBUHR’S LECTURES ON THE HISTORY OF ROME. From the earliest times to the Fall of the Western Empire. Edited by Dr. SCHMITZ. Second Edition, enlarged and greatly improved. Three volumes, 8vo. Portrait. £1 4_s._ cloth. ⁂ _The present Edition of Niebuhr’s Lectures on Roman History contains every word and statement that is to be found in the German Edition of Dr. Isler, with which it has been compared throughout. But as Dr. Schmitz, in preparing his edition, was in possession of some valuable sets of MS. Notes, which were inaccessible to Dr. Isler, the present work contains a variety of remarks and observations as made by Niebuhr, which do not occur in the German Edition, or any mere translation of the German. Almost every page of the present work contains some interesting remark of the Roman historian, which is not to be found in the German Edition._
