155 페이지 - It is difficult to estimate too highly the value of such a series as this in giving 'English readers' an insight, exact as far as it goes, into those uldcn timea which are so remote and yet to many of us so close.
156 페이지 - We gladly avail ourselves of this opportunity to recommend the other volumes of this useful series, most of which are executed with discrimination and ability."— Quarterly Review.
156 페이지 - These Ancient Classics have, without an exception, a twofold value. They are rich in literary interest, and they are rich in social and historical interest. We not only have a faithful presentation of the stamp and quality of the literature which the master-minds of the classical world have bequeathed to the modern world, but we have a series of admirably vivid and graphic pictures of what life at Athens and Rome was.

On the contrary, we should hope that these little volumes would be in many cases but a kind of stepping-stone...
155 페이지 - The aim of this delightful series of books is to explain, sufficiently for general readers, who these great writers were, and what they wrote; to give, wherever possible, some connected outline of the story which they tell, or the facts which they record, checked by the results of modern investigations ; to present some of their most striking passages in approved English translations, and to illustrate them generally from modern writers ; to serve, in short, as a popular retrospect of the chief literature...
156 페이지 - It is impossible to praise too highly the conception and execution of this series of the Classics. They are a kind of ' Bibliotheca Classicorum ' for unlearned readers, but executed by men of the most accomplished scholarship, and therefore conveying the very colour and tone of the authors. They will be as pleasant to scholars as they are valuable to those who know only their mother tongue.
