"To students of the Greek and Roman classics no more valuable aid of its kind has lately been furnished than is the new DICTIONARY OF GREEK AND ROMAN ANTIQUITIES, which has been edited by Mr. F. Warre Cornish, M.A., Vice-Provost of Eton College. The work is derived from Sir William Smith's well-known standard work with the same title, but by no means from that alone. Not only have articles been combined, recast, or wholly rewritten, but the latest assured results of discovery and learned research have been incorporated, and the book has been enriched by more than two hundred new illustrations. It is the product of infinite care and large educational experience, working with the accumulated fruits of the best modern scholarship, and rarely, if ever, has a finer treasury of learning been more admirably condensed into moderate compass."-Scotsman.
