In respect to this new and improved edition, one of the most eminent scholars of the present day has expressed his opinion that ‘’the increased advantages given to it have doubled the original value of the work.” It should he observed that the numerous additions and the amended Chronology, from that valuable performance, the Fasti lieltenici, are subjoined in the shape of Notes, so as not to interfere with the integrity of the text. As there are many editions of Milford’s Greece before the public, it may be necessary to observe that the present octavo edition is the only one which contains Mr. King's last correc- tions and additions (which, as stated in his advertisement, are material); it is at the samo time the only edition which shoula at the present day be cbo.«en for the gentleman’s library', being the hiuwisomesl, the most correct, atid the most complete. Lord Bvron says of Mitibrd, “His is the best Modern History of Greece in any language, and he is’ perhaps the best of all modern historians whatsoever. His virtues are learning, labour, research, and earnestness.” “ Considered with respect, not only to the whole series of ancient events which it comprises, hut also to any very prominent portion of that series, Mr. Milford’s History is the best that has appeared since the days of Xenophon.”—Adin6KryA Review.
