_This new work of Mr. Gladstone deals especially with the historic
element in Homer, expounding that element and furnishing by its aid a
full account of the Homeric men and the Homeric religion. It starts,
after the introductory chapter, with a discussion of the several races
then existing in Hellas, including the influence of the Phœnicians
and Egyptians. It contains chapters on the Olympian system, with its
several deities; on the Ethics and the Polity of the Heroic age; on
the geography of Homer; on the characters of the Poems; presenting, in
fine, a view of primitive life and primitive society as found in the
poems of Homer. To this New Edition various additions have been made._
“GLOBE” ATLAS OF EUROPE. Uniform in size with Macmillan’s Globe Series,
containing 45 Coloured Maps, on a uniform scale and projection; with
Plans of London and Paris, and a copious Index. Strongly bound in
half-morocco, with flexible back, 9s.
_This Atlas includes all the countries of Europe in a series of 48
Maps, drawn on the same scale, with an Alphabetical Index to the
situation of more than ten thousand places, and the relation of the
various maps and countries to each other is defined in a general
Key-map. All the maps being on a uniform scale facilitates the
comparison of extent and distance, and conveys a just impression of the
relative magnitude of different countries. The size suffices to show
the provincial divisions, the railways and main roads, the principal
rivers and mountain ranges. “This atlas,” writes the_ British
Quarterly, “_will be an invaluable boon for the school, the desk, or
the traveller’s portmanteau._”
