Weir Mitchell writes: "I have not for a long while read a book which pleased me more than Mr. Crawford's 'Roma.' It is cast in a form so original and so available that it must surely take the place of all other books about Rome which are needed to help one to understand its story and its archaeology.... The book has for me a rare interest." A NEW AND CHEAPER EDITION POMPEII ITS LIFE AND ART By AUGUST MAU, German ArchÆological Institute in Rome. Translated into English by Francis W. Kelsey, University of Michigan. Profusely illustrated from photographs, etc. Cloth, Gilt Top, Crown 8vo, $2.50 net. F. Marion Crawford says of this work: "Professor Mau has succeeded beyond all those who have preceded him on the same ground. He reconstructs the ruins so that one believes in them, and sees that they must have been as he describes them, and the excellent drawings of these reconstructions stimulate the reader's belief. He restores the decorations next, and furnishes the vacant dwellings in a way that seems natural, and even comfortable; and, lastly, he populates the city he has so skilfully rebuilt, not with the dull lay figures in togas or tunics so dear to scientific history, but with human beings, alive and moving." IN PREPARATION FOR EARLY ISSUE ANCIENT ATHENS By ERNEST ARTHUR GARDNER, Yates Professor of ArchÆology in University College, London. Formerly Director of the British School at Athens. Author of "A Handbook of Greek Sculpture," etc., etc. Cloth, 8vo. Profusely illustrated. This handsomely illustrated book is a companion volume in its make-up to Mau's "Pompeii." Its object is to give an adequate and at the same time popular account of Ancient Athens, from the earliest times down to the official introduction of Christianity. The book deals mainly with the topography of the city and Acropolis, the extant remains of ancient buildings, and the sculpture that decorated them. It includes the results of recent excavation and research; but controversial matters have, as far as possible, been relegated to notes and appendices. A full description is given of the Parthenon, the Erechtheum, Theatre, and other buildings, and such questions as the water supply, the walls of town and harbours, the position of the Agora, and the route Pausanias, are duly considered. The general aim of the author is to stimulate and assist the historical imagination by bringing Ancient Athens, in various periods of its growth, vividly before the eyes of the ordinary well-informed reader, and to provide both those who have visited Greece and those who have not with views and plans and illustrations to enable them to realize the present appearance of the town and its monuments. For this purpose the book is very fully illustrated, as far as possible, by means of photography. Above all, the author has avoided, as far as possible, compilation or quotation from various writers, and has endeavored to give a direct record of the impressions derived from a familiarity with the sites and buildings described.
