beetles of antiquity familiar with Professor Mahaffy’s works—and who is not ?— 
have come to look for a rare combination of scientific exactness and charm of style. 
These qualities are blended in a singular degree in the present volume. It is a history of

Sway, now out of print, ‘in a maturer and better form, and with much new material super- 
added.” There are several entirely new chapters, and the whole work has been thoroughly 
revised in accordance with the “wider and more intelligent view of Greek life” that has 
grown up since the appearance of that volume. .
