“In this magnificent volume we have finally the story of Dr.
Schliemann’s last and most important discoveries. He has been the
most fortunate of archæological explorers; for even a greater luck
than rewarded him in the Troad has fallen to his portion in Argolis.
* * * We suspect that the final verdict of scholars will that Dr.
Schliemann has actually discovered the remains of the man, some part
of whose history, at least, is preserved in the Agamemnon of Homer and
Æschylus.”—_The N. Y. Tribune._
“Dr. Schliemann’s book is worth all the prolegomens and commentaries
upon Homer that have been written since the revival of learning.”—_The
Boston Globe._
“The interest of the work is not confined to either England or
America. Every enlightened nation will welcome it, for it opens up a
new world to the modern generation. No work of the time has attracted
wider attention.”—_Boston Post._
“This splendid volume is a museum of itself which every lover of
history and classical literature will feel that he must possess, and
which any intelligent reader is competent to understand and enjoy by
means of its abundant and truly splendid illustrations.”—_Buffalo
Commercial Advertiser._
“Dr. Schliemann has made the most important contribution of the
present century to Greek archæology.”—_The Nation._
“We commend the volume, with its admirable typography and
multitudinous illustrations, to the attention of our readers,
assuring them that they will find it possessed of a rare and enduring
interest.”—_Boston Journal._
“We add our testimony in saying that a copy of Mycenæ is necessary
to the library of every scholar, and—which is no mean praise—that
the printing and illustrations of this work are worthy of the
matter.”—_Baltimore Gazette._

_The
Conflict of Christianity_
WITH HEATHENISM.
By DR. GERHARD UHLHORN.
_TRANSLATED BY_
PROF. EGBERT C. SMYTH and REV. C. J. H. ROPES.
One Volume, Crown 8vo, $2.50.
This volume describes with extraordinary vividness and spirit the
religious and moral condition of the Pagan world, the rise and spread
of Christianity, its conflict with heathenism, and its final victory.
There is no work that portrays the heroic age of the ancient church
with equal spirit, elegance, and incisive power. The author has made
thorough and independent study both of the early Christian literature
and also of the contemporary records of classic heathenism.
