HAWES, M.A., L.H.D. | | | | CRETE, THE FORERUNNER OF GREECE | | | | _Map, Plans, etc._ | | | | | | "The wondrous story of a great civilisation | | which flourished before Abraham was born, | | and left behind a memory of itself in the | | Arts of Ancient Greece and in the traditions | | of a golden age and a 'Lost | | Atlantis.'"--_Evening Standard._ | | | | "We have now the material for forming a very | | fair conception of the fruitful contribution | | made by Crete to Grecian and European | | civilisation. What was long accounted | | fable--statements of Herodotus and | | Thucydides--have been turned into | | established fact. The book supplies material | | for forming judgments on some of the most | | interesting and still highly debated | | problems of early Greek history." | | _Glasgow Herald._ | | | -------------------------------------------------
