"We need only to refer to the names prefixed to this notice of the editors of this volume, as 

 amongst the most eminent Greek scholars of the day, as a guarantee for the completeness of the 

 work." Glasgow Citizen. 



" The present volume comprises papers on the early Greek Poets the tragic, comic, and lyric 

 poets of Greece, and the Greek historians and orators. Those by Mr. Justice Talfourd are par- 

 ticularly interesting. They are full of information, expressed in the choicest language. Biogra- 

 phical details &EO interspersed with masterly criticisms and eloquent tributes of admiration. 

 Classic elegance and gracefulness shine forth on every pa,ge. All the questions revised in con- 

 nection with Homer are treated very fully and ably. The tragedians, also, are faithfully 

 sketched, the cluu-actoriatics of each pointed out, and their remaining works briefly described." 

 Athenaum, December 28, 1850. 



.... " These papers appeared in several separate volumes of the original work, in quarto, but 

 Are now happily blended in this graceful volume, full of information and reading, not to be for- 

 gotten by v,-ell-educated persons. Mr. Justice Talfourd has much improved his four contributions 

 -on Early Greek 1'oetry, Tragedy, Lyrics, and History. They are elegant productions, without 

 diving into the depths of Colonel Mure; and may advantageously be perused either as a step 

 towards, or a ' refresher' after pondering on the immense research of that accomplished author. 

 .Altogether we are much delimited with this classical selection, and cordially recommend it to 

 afl students emulous of belonging to the ranks of superior cultivation." Literary Gazette.
