"Modern archæological research has rendered a new survey of Hellenic antiquities INDISPENS ABLE to the student of Greek history and literature, and few men are better qualified to undertake such a survey than Professor Gardner and his colleague."-Times. "Our thanks are due to the eminent scholars who have given us this volume. Both have done their work wELL. Dr. JEVONS has made the dry bones of Greek Constitutional Law to live again by his frequent COMPARISON of English PARLIAMENTARY and municipal Government. He gives also a SPIRITED CHAPTER on SLAVERY, and his account of the DRAMA IS as amusing as it is accurate."-Manchester Guardian. "A work which, although crammed full of information, is everywhere readable."-Athenæum. "An EXCELLENT PIECE OF WORK.”—Academy.

"Mr. Jevons' work is distinguished by the Author's THOROUGH ACQUAINTANCE with THE OLD WRITERS, and his DISCRIMINATING USE of the MODERN LITERATURE bearing upon the subject.
