HISTORY OF ROME. By Rev. M. Creighton, M.A. of Oxford and Cambridge, D.C.L. of Durham, LL.D. of Glasgow and Harvard. With Maps. Eleventh Edition. Pott 8vo. 1s. [Literature Primers.]

SATURDAY REVIEW.—"Mr. Creighton is constantly stopping to gather up the threads into his reader's hands, to mark 'noticeable points,' to give systematic little bits of generalisation about causes, and little lists of questions that a boy should bear in mind throughout; and all this is consistently couched in the lenior imperativus of the lecturer.... The book is, as a rule, uniformly good, and far ahead of any small school histories that have appeared before."

ACADEMY.—"Mr. Creighton's 'History of Rome' reminds us once more that, in the matter of historical handbooks at least, we boast to be much better than our fathers. At the outset he touches the right chord by pointing out that the explanation of many important facts in modern Europe is to be sought in the history of old Rome, and he proceeds by a judicious selection of facts to bring into relief those social and political changes which are the true subjects of history. But Mr. Creighton takes care not to fall into the mistake of omitting the tales which have been enjoyed by so many generations, and in spite of his cramped space he finds room for Cincinnatus at the Plough and the Schoolmaster of Falerii."

SCHOOL BOARD CHRONICLE.—"The author has been curiously successful in telling in this intelligent way the story of Rome from first to last in a rudimentary shilling book of little more than a hundred and twenty pages, with maps, tables, and a brief chronology."
