“ To enthusiasts in history matters, who are not content with mere facts, but like to pursue 
their investigations behind the scenes, as it were, Professor Rawson Lumby has in the work now 
before us produced a most acceptable contribution to the now constantly increasing store of 
illustrative reading.” — The Cambridge Review. 
“To Dr Lumby we must give praise unqualified and unstinted. He has done his work 
admirably Every student of history, every politician, every social reformer, every one 
interested in literary curiosities, every lover of English should buy and carefully read Dr 
Lumby’s edition of the ‘Utopia.’ We are afraid to say more lest we should be thought ex- 
travagant, and our recommendation accordingly lose part of its force.” — The Teacher. 
“ It was originally written in Latin and does not find a place on ordinary bookshelves. Avery 
great boon has therefore been conferred on the general English reader by the managers of the 
Pitt Press Series, in the issue of a convenient little volume of More's Utopia not in the original 
Latin, but in the quaint English Translation thereof made by Raphe Robynson, which adds a 
linguistic interest to the intrinsic merit of the work. . . . All this has been edited in a most com- 
plete and scholarly fashion by Dr J. R. Luinby, the Norrisian Professor of Divinity, whose name 
alone is a sufficient warrant for its accuracy. It is a real addition to the modern stock of classical 
English literature. ” — Guardian.

A SKETCH OF ANCIENT PHILOSOPHY FROM 
THALES TO CICERO, by Joseph B. Mayor, M.A., Professor of 
Moral Philosophy at King’s College, London. Price 3 s. 6d. 
“It may safely be affirmed that Mr Mayor has successfully accomplished all that he here sets 
out. His arrangement is admirably methodical, his style is simple but nervous, his knowledge 
of his subject full and accurate, and his analytical expositions lucid and vivid.... It is therefore a 
manual which will prove of great utility to University undergraduates, for whom it was par- 
ticularly prepared, and also for all who study Plato, Aristotle, or other philosophers, in the 
original. Educated readers, generally, will find it an admirable introduction, or epitome, of 
ancient speculative thought, and ‘ a key to our present ways of thinking and judging in regard to 
matters of the highest importance.’ ” — The British Mail. 
“In writing this scholarly and attractive sketch, Professor Mayor has had chiefly in view 
* undergraduates at the University or others who are commencing the study of the philosophical 
works of Cicero or Plato or Aristotle in the original language,’ but also hopes that it ‘ may be 
found interesting and useful by educated readers generally, not merely as an introduction to the 
formal history of philosophy, but as. supplying a key to our present ways of thinking and judging 
in regard to matters of the highest importance.’” — Mind. 
“Professor Mayor contributes to the Pitt Press Series A Sketch of Ancient Philosophy in 
which he has endeavoured to give a general view of the philosophical systems illustrated by the 
genius of the masters of metaphysical and ethical science from Thales to Cicero. In the course 
of his sketch he takes occasion to give concise analyses of Plato’s Republic, and of the Ethics and 
Politics of Aristotle ; and these abstracts will be to some readers not the least useful portions of 
the book. It may be objected against his design in general that ancient philosophy is too vast 
and too deep a subject to be dismissed in a ‘ sketch’ — that it should be left to those who will make 
it a serious study. But that objection takes no account of the large class of persons who desire 
to know, in relation to present discussions and speculations, what famous men in the whole world 
thought and wrote on these topics. They have not the scholarship which would be necessary for 
original examination of authorities ; but they have an intelligent interest in the relations between 
ancient and modern philosophy, and need just such information as Professor Mayor’s sketch will 
give them.” — The Guardian.
