_SPEAKER._—“This delightful book, which leads us by the plain path of the calendar, illuminating every step with now a curious parallel from Samoa, now a pretty tale from Ovid, now an observation made in Oxfordshire. And it is not of every work that you can say with truth that it is the work of a scholar, a gentleman, a philosopher, a naturalist, and an understanding lover of the country.” _ACADEMY._—“A book with which every student of Roman religion will have to make his account.... Alike as a storehouse of critically sifted facts and as a tentative essay towards the synthetic arrangement of these facts, Mr. Fowler’s book seems to us to mark a very distinct advance upon anything that has yet been done.” _Crown 8vo. 5s._ THE CITY-STATE OF THE GREEKS AND ROMANS _ATHENÆUM._—“From cover to cover the book is readable and instructive, and to the general reader it should prove as attractive as a novel.” _SPECTATOR._—“On the ‘city-state’ Mr. Warde Fowler gives us a very valuable discussion.” _WESTMINSTER REVIEW._—“The best recent English work on the subject.” _MORNING POST._—“Mr. Fowler’s well-written and excellently arranged treatise will be valued not only for the information which it contains, but for the light which it throws on various historical questions.” LONDON: MACMILLAN AND CO., LTD.
