One thick volume 12mo. Second Edition. 7s. 6d. cloth, or 8s. 6d. strongly bound in leather. The immense progress made in investigating Roman history and antiquities within the last thirty or forty years, having materially altered the whole com- plexion of that study, has rendered indispensahle a new manual, for the use of schools, removing the old errors and misconceptions which have long since been exposed and exploded by scholars. This compendium is designed to supply the want, by condensing and selecting out of a voluminous mass of detail, that which is necessary to give rather a vivid picture of the leading epochs of the history, than a minute narrative of the particulars recorded in the authorities. The author has availed himself of all the important works on the whole Roman history, or portions of it, which have appeared since Niebuhr gave a new life and new impulse to the subject. A copious table of chronology and indexes ai'e added. Bictionary of Greek and E,oman Antiquities, ■ By various Writers. Edited by Dr. William Smith. Second Edition. One thick vol. 8vo. with several hundred Engravings on Wood. 21. 2s. This work, written by the editor in conjunction with seventeen other gentlemen, embodies the results of the latest investigations of the distinguished German scholars whose labours, within the last half century, have shed an entirely different light on the history, the private life, and the political relations of the Greeks and Romans. It comprehends all the topics of antiquities properly so called, including the laws, institutions, and domestic usages of the Greeks and Romans; painting, sculpt(i'e, music, the di-ama, and other subjects on which correct information can be outained elsewhere only by consulting a large number of costly or untranslated works. The dictionary is illustrated by numerous wood-cuts, made under the superin- tendence of the writers of the several articles. They are chiefly representations of costumes, weapons, ornaments, machines, implements, utensils, money, plans of buildings, and architectural embellishments. Subjoined are tables of Greek and Roman measures, weights, and money: with full indexes, Greek, Latin, and English. Dictionary of Greek & Roman Biography & Mythology. Edited by William Smith, LL.D. Medium Svo. Illustrated by numerous Engravings on Wood. Complete in Three Volumes 51. 15s. 6d. Each volume may be had separately, period comprehended in this history of remarkable individuals, real or ideal, is from the earliest times to the fall of the Eastern Empire, in 1453. The work is the result of the joint labours of twenty-nine writers, whose names are attached to their respective articles,—the divisions of subjects having been severally allot- ted to such of the contributors as had made them more or less their peculiar ' study. Copious accounts are given of the wi'itings of mathematicians, jurists, physicians, historians, poets, philosophers, and orators. The Latin and Greek Christian fathers also occupy considerable space; and the lives of painters, sculptors, and architects, contaiii details, useful to the artist, of all their works still extant, or of which there is any record in ancient writers. In fact, the work exhibits a view of the whole circle of ancient history and literature for upwards of two thousand years. It is embellished, whenever possible, by wood-cuts, taken from ancient coins. Extensive chronological tables of Greek and Roman history are added; and a table exhibiting at a glance the years B.C. or a.d. con-esponding to any given A.u.c. or olympiad.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b21458832_0003.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
