=THE GREEKS AND THE PERSIANS.= By Rev. G. W. COX. “It covers the ground in a perfectly satisfactory way. The work is clear, succinct, and readable.”--_New York Independent._ “Marked by thorough and comprehensive scholarship and by a skillful style.”--_Congregationalist._ “It would be hard to find a more creditable book. The author’s prefatory remarks upon the origin and growth of Greek civilization are alone worth the price of the volume.”--_Christian Union._ =THE ATHENIAN EMPIRE--From the Flight of Xerxes to the Fall of Athens.= By Rev. G. W. COX. “Mr. Cox writes in such a way as to bring before the reader everything which is important to be known or learned; and his narrative cannot fail to give a good idea of the men and deeds with which he is concerned.”--_The Churchman._ “Mr. Cox has done his work with the honesty of a true student. It shows persevering scholarship and a desire to get at the truth.”--_New York Herald._ =THE SPARTAN AND THEBAN SUPREMACIES.= By CHARLES SANKEY, M.A. “This volume covers the period between the disasters of Athens at the close of the Peloponnesian war and the rise of Macedon.

The maps are excellent, and the story is lucidly and vigorously told.”--_The Nation._ “The same compressive style and yet completeness of detail that have characterized the previous issues in this delightful series, are found in this volume. Certainly the art of conciseness in writing was never carried to a higher or more effective point.”--_Boston Saturday Evening Gazette._ ⁂ _The above five volumes give a connected and complete history of Greece from the earliest times to the death of Alexander._ =EARLY ROME--From the Foundation of the City to its Destruction by the Gauls.= By W. IHNE, Ph.D. “Those who want to know the truth instead of the traditions that used to be learned of our fathers, will find in the work entertainment, careful scholarship, and sound sense.”--_Cincinnati Times._ “The book is excellently well done. The views are those of a learned and able man, and they are presented in this volume with great force and clearness.”--_The Nation._ =ROME AND CARTHAGE--The Punic Wars.= By R. BOSWORTH SMITH. “By blending the account of Rome and Carthage the accomplished author presents a succinct and vivid picture of two great cities and people which leaves a deep impression.
