SPECTATOR.—“This work is intended as an introduction to the study of the religion of the Romans, and a very faithful and accurate piece of work it is, as indeed might be expected by those who know Mr. Fowler’s previous studies of ancient life.”

LITERATURE.—“Mr. Fowler has admirably summed up the results of the folklore school as far as Rome is concerned; and it is much to have a scholar’s unprejudiced opinion on them. The book marks a distinct step in advance.”

GUARDIAN.—“A delightful volume which will attract and interest any educated and thoughtful reader.”

SPEAKER.—“This delightful book, which leads us by the plain path of the calendar, illuminating every step with now a curious parallel from Samoa, now a pretty tale from Ovid, now an observation made in Oxfordshire. And it is not of every work that you can say with truth that it is the work of a scholar, a gentleman, a philosopher, a naturalist, and an understanding lover of the country.”

ACADEMY.—“A book with which every student of Roman religion will have to make his account.... Alike as a storehouse of critically-sifted facts and as a tentative essay towards the synthetic arrangement of these facts, Mr. Fowler’s book seems to us to mark a very distinct advance upon anything that has yet been done.”

ATHENÆUM.—“The introduction alone, which runs to over forty pages, makes the book indispensable to every student of the subject.”

CLASSICAL REVIEW.—“The good qualities which were conspicuous in the first part of Prof Gardner’s handbook are as characteristic of the second, and it is not too much to say that the whole book easily takes rank before all other English elementary treatises on Greek sculpture.... There are few books of the kind which can be so freely recommended as Prof. Gardner’s.”

GUARDIAN.—“Mr. Gardner’s book may be confidently recommended as the best and most trustworthy sketch of Greek sculpture hitherto published in the English language.”

CLASSICAL REVIEW.—“He can be original even in the treatment of the most familiar themes; the style is fresh and vigorous, and the explanations are, as a rule, clear. The book is, from its nature, mainly intended for beginners, by whom it is likely to be extensively used, but at the same time more advanced students may gather not a few suggestive hints from its pages.”

SPEAKER.—“A really valuable handbook on the constitutional history of Greece.”

SPECTATOR.—“This book will be of great use to teachers in schools where the language and literature of Hellas are properly cultivated, as well as to University tutors, and is quite within the intellectual grasp of ordinary undergraduates, to whom we earnestly recommend it.”

ATHENÆUM.—“Quite worthy of the traditions of the British Museum Coin Room.... We cannot too much praise the fifteen beautiful plates of photographic reproductions which close this book. Mr. Hill has collected the flower of all Greek and Roman art in this small compass.”

LITERATURE.—“Mr. Hill has succeeded very deftly in providing exactly the type of information of which the student so often stands in need. The volume forms an admirable conspectus of the monetary history of Greece and Rome in less than 800 pages.”

GUARDIAN.—“We are glad to learn from the preface to this volume that the professor has in contemplation an extensive work on the latter part of this subject, the ‘History of the Excavations,’ and meanwhile the present instalment will be welcomed by all who have felt the fascination of the story of the survival or destruction of the ancient monuments.”

WESTMINSTER BUDGET.—“A most enlightening little work, which gives a real insight into the scholarly and scientific method on which modern excavation proceeds.”

SPECTATOR.—“Both logical in arrangement and lucid in exposition. And its subject is most wisely chosen, because it is the public life of the Romans which has been an example to all time.”

PILOT.—“The style of the book is throughout clear and interesting, and at the same time many minute and debatable points are carefully discussed, and almost every statement is supported by references to original authorities, or better still, by quotations from them. It is a healthy sign that English scholarship is now able to produce such books as this.”

PILOT.—“A most useful and judicious epitome of a difficult subject.... The volume is likely to take its place among the most successful of the excellent series to which it belongs.”

ATHENÆUM.—“Mr. Lowrie is to be thanked for a most interesting book, in which he has collected a great amount of hitherto inaccessible information in a very convenient form.... This book should do much to diffuse knowledge about a subject that awakens a wide and keen interest.”

GUARDIAN.—“The best handbook to the artistic monuments of the first six centuries of the Christian Church which has appeared in English, perhaps in any language.”
