    BY PROFESSOR G. MASPERO. THE GREATEST AND MOST SCHOLARLY WORK ON THE HISTORY OF THE ANCIENT WORLD. The History of the Ancient Peoples of the Classic East is now complete, embracing three volumes under the following titles: NOW READY. The Passing of the Empires. 850 B. C. to 330 B. C. Edited by the Rev. Professor Sayce. Translated by M. L. McClure. With Maps and numerous Illustrations, including three Colored Plates. 4to. Cloth, $7-5°- This monumental work brings the history of Egypt, Assyria, Babylonia, Persia, and Medea down to the victories of Alexander the Great, and completes Professor Maspero’s great series on the history of the ancient world. Like the preceding volumes, it repre- sents the latest results of the higher scholarship, and it is magnificently illustrated. Pro- fessor Maspero’s three volumes constitute a work which is, and must remain for some time to come, the most comprehensive and trustworthy account of the ancient Eastern world.

So. “ A work of comprehensive scope and sound basis, truthful, in the main accurate, and in a high degree attractive.

You may not hope to read it through, even in a dozen sittings, but you can not give a glance at any one of its pages without having your attention specially challenged.”—New York Herald
