Now in course of publication, uniform with EPOCHS of MODERN HISTORY, each volume complete in itself,
EPOCHS OF ANCIENT HISTORY:
A Series of Books Narrating the History of Greece and Rome and of their Relations to other Countries at Successive Epochs.
Edited by the Rev. GEORGE W. COX, M.A. late Scholar of Trin. Coll. Oxford; and jointly by CHARLES SANKEY, M.A. late Scholar of Queen's Coll. Oxford.
'The special purpose for which these manuals are intended, they will we should think, admirably serve. Their clearness as narratives will make them acceptable to the schoolboy as well as to the teacher; and their critical acumen will commend them to the use of the more advanced student who is not only getting up, but trying to understand and appreciate, his HERODOTUS and THUCYDIDES. As for the general plan of the series of which they form part, we must confess, without wishing to draw comparisons for which we should be sorry to
have to examine all the materials, that it strikes us as decidedly sensible. For the beginner, at all events, the most in- structive, as it is the easiest and most natural, way of studying history is to study it by periods; and with regard to earlier Greek and Roman history at all events, there is no serious obstacle in the way of his being enabled to do so, since here period and what has come to be quasi-technically called subject fre- quently coincide, and form what may fairly be called an Epoch of Ancient History.'
