AN IMPORTANT NEW SERIES OF HISTORIES * GREAT NATIONS THE time seems to have come for an attempt to place the stories of the great nations rather more fully in the light of modern conceptions of the true object of history. The books in this series will be prepared with all the care necessary for serious study, but will also be addressed to the general reader, and will, therefore, be attractive in matter and get-up. They will endeavour, as it were, to revive the real life of the past, and show how the great men and women of other ages still deeply influence the present by their deeds and their thoughts. Political and military events will receive their proper place and proportions in the structural framework, but more attention will be given to great achievements in art, literature, science, and other civilising influences.

COTTERILL, M.A., and Illustrated with 24 Drawings by PATTEN WILSON. 360 pages. Printed in Red and Black in Distinctive Type. (The lines do not over-run.) THE aim of the Translator has been to produce an English version of the Odyssey in a form resembling the original as closely as possible in its rapidity, directness, naturalness, and vigour-characteristics which make Homer himself so vivid and attractive. Dr. H. M. BUTLER writes: "It helps one to feel as Homer-or, say, Odysseusfelt, and it leads one on, never wearying." Dr. WALTER LEAF writes: "I know of no translation which so vividly recalls the original to me." ORDINARY EDITION. Size 10 X 8 inches.

"Mr. Cotterill has made what, we think, may justly be called a very bold experiment. He should be read in bulk-a book at least at a time-and it is his high merit that he tempts to such reading. There is a simple and unaffected ease about him which carries you along, and he very rarely offends. In fact, as Dr. Leaf-and who could be a better judge?-has borne witness, he 'reproduces the naturalness of Homer, the easy flow as of a river which is Homer's own, with as much success as anyone, perhaps with more success,' and his version, which is also a very faithful one, with no pretty lying that improves to suit the modern taste,' is one which any teacher who can read aloud well would find of real service in conveying some living sense of Homer's poetry even to inattentive ears. . . . The book is magnificently printed, and adorned th beautiful illustrations. We trust that its success in its present form may be such as to encourage Mr. Cotterill to publish it, as it deserves to be published, in a shape that will make it accessible to a wider range of readers.”—The Spectator.
