Cur tins' History of Greece is similar in plan and purpose to Mommsen's History of 

 Rome, with which it deserves to rank in every respect as one of the great masterpieces of 

 historical literature. Avoiding the minute details which overburden other' similar works, 

 it groups together in a very picturesque manner all the important events in the history of 

 this kingdom, which has exercised such a wonderful influence upon the world's civilization. 

 The narrative of Prof. Curtius* work is flowing and animated, and the generalizations, 

 although bold, are philosophical and sound. 



CRITICAL NOTICES. 



"Professor Curtius* eminent scholarship is a sufficent guarantee for the trustworthiness of 

 his history, while the skill with which he groups his facts, and his effective mode of narrating 

 them, combine to render it no less readable than sound. Professor Curtius everywhere main- 

 tains the true dignity and impartiality of history, and it is evident his sympathies are on 

 the side of justice, humanity, and progress.' 1 — London Atkenteum. 



"We can not express our opinion of Dr. Curtius' book better than by saying that it may 

 be fitfy ranked with Theodor Mommsen's great work." — London Spectator. 



"As an introduction to the study of Grecian history, no previous work is comparable to 

 the present for vivacity and picturesque beauty, while in sound learning and accuracy if 

 statement it is not inferior to the elaborate productions which enrich the literature of the 

 age." — H. V. Daily Tribune. 



"The History of Greece is treated by Dr. Curtius so broadly and freely in the spirit of 

 the nineteenth century, that it becomes in his hands one of the worthiest and most instruct.ve 

 branches of study for all who desire something more than a knowledge of isolated farts foi 

 their education. This translation ought to become a regular part ol the accepted course 

 of reading for young men at college, and for all who are in training for the free political 

 life of our country." — N. V. Evening Post.
