A DICTIONARY OF GREEK AND ROMAN GEOGRAPHY. 



By various Writers. Edited by Dr. WILLIAM SMITH. Illustrated with 

 Woodcuts of Coins, Plans of Cities, etc. Two Volumes, 8vo. Vol. L, 

 36s. cloth. 



The present " Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography " forms a companion 

 volume to the two Works which have preceded it. Although, for the sake of uni- 

 formity, it is calle 1 a Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography, it is in reality 

 a Dictionary of Ancient Geography, not even excluding Scriptural names. The 

 materials for such a work are very extensive, and have been for many years accumu- 

 lating ; and it has been the aim of the Editor to present, in a form adapted to the 

 use of students, the researches of modern scholars, and the discoveries of modern 

 travellers, in this important branch of Classical Antiquity. The work is, of course, _ 

 not confined to a barren description of the geography of countries and of the sites ' 

 of places ; but it also includes an account of the political history both of countries 

 and of cities.

THE HISTORY OF ROME. By B. G. Niebuhr, From the 



earliest times to the First Punic War. Fourth Edition. Translated by 

 BISHOP THIRLWALL, ARCHDEACON HARE, DR. SMITH, and DR. SCHMITZ. 

 Three Vols. 8vo. II. 16s. 



The great work of Niebuhr stands unrivalled among all ancient and modern histories 

 of the Roman people, for the extent and profundity of the investigations on which it 

 is founded, and for the singular vigour of mind by which the author elicits a true 

 narrative of events from the masses of fable, contradiction, and absurdity, under which 

 it lay buried till his time. These qualities, universally acknowledged, have made the 

 publication of his researches an era in classical learning, from which is to be dated a 

 habit of looking at the events of antiquity in an independent spirit, instead of assent- 

 ing, without inquiry, to the statements and conclusions of native or foreign compilers. 

 The history of the tirst five centuries of the city is examined with searching criticism, 

 for the purpose of severing the poetical ingredients from traditions which are histori- 

 cally sure and well grounded. The author does not content himself with detailing the 

 results he has arrived at, but gives at full length the researches themselves which led 

 to them ; so that the reader, who devotes adequate study to this profound work, will 

 not only acquire sounder views of Roman history than could be derived from any 

 other source whatever, but will acquire a knowledge of the critical methods by which 

 the haze of remote antiquity has been so happily penetrated. 



" It is a work," says the Edinburgh Review, "which, of all that have appeared in 

 our age, is the best fitted to excite men of learning to intellectual activity ; from which 

 the most accomplished scholar may gather fresh stores of knowledge ; to which the 

 most experienced politician may resort for theoretical and practical instruction ; and 

 which no person can read, as it ought to be read, without feeling the better and more 

 generous sentiments of his common human nature enlivened and strengthened." 



NIEBITHR'S LECTURES ON THE HISTORY OF ROME, 



from the earliest times to the Fall of the Western Empire. Edited 

 by Dr. SCHMITZ. Third Edition. Three Volumes, 8vo., with Portrait. 

 11. 4:8. cloth. 



These Lectures form a history of Rome from the earliest ages to the overthrow of 

 the Western Empire. Their subjects are concurrent (up to the first Punic war) with 

 those of Niebuhr's great work, " The History of Rome," and comprehend discussions 

 on the sources of Roman history, with the criticism and analysis of those materials. 

 The Lectures differ from the History, in presenting a more popular and familiar expo- 

 sition of the various topics of investigation, which are treated in the History in a more 

 severe style. They may be used either as an introduction to Niebuhr's theories, or as 

 a running commentary on his History. 



Among the subjects most elaborately treated, are, the geographical positions of the 

 ancient races of Italy, which are traced through all their migrations ; the political,
