PETRIE, W. M. FLINDERS. History of Egypt from the earliest times to the XVIth dynasty. London: Methuen & Co. 1894.

"This volume is but the first of a series which is intended to embrace the whole history of Egypt down to modern times. It is expected that three volumes will treat of the period of the Pharaohs, one volume of the Ptolemies, one volume of the Roman age, and one volume of Arabic Egypt. So far as practicable, the same system will be maintained throughout, though by different writers; and the aim of all will be to provide a general history, with such fulness and precision as shall suffice for the use of students." From the Author's Preface.

The first volume carries the narrative to the Ionian revolt, the second to the Thirty Years Peace.

ARISTOTLE. On the Constitution of Athens; translated by E. Poste. London: Macmillan & Co. 1891.

A translation of the lately-found treaties believed to be by Aristotle. "While putting us in possession of more facts concerning the constitutional history of Athens than have been known hitherto, this treatise presents very great difficulties, both critical and historical. … We must receive the new information with caution, and far from looking on it as superseding our older authorities, we must remember that much of it may not be the work of Aristotle or of Aristotle's time." E. Abbott, History of Greece, part 2, appendix 2.

Politics; translated by B. Jowett: with essays, notes, etc. Oxford: Clarendon Press. 1885. 2 volumes.

ARNOLD, THOMAS. History of Rome; new edition. London: T. Fellowes. 1871. 3 volumes.

Dr. Arnold's History is founded on Niebuhr's. The fact is frankly stated in his preface: " When Niebuhr died, and there was now no hope of seeing his great work completed in a manner worthy of its beginning, I was more desirous than ever of executing my original plan, of presenting in a more popular form what he had lived to finish, and of continuing it afterwards with such advantages as I have derived from a long study and an intense admiration of his example and model." It was Dr. Arnold's hope to cover the whole stretch of Roman history, to Charlemagne; but he had only reached the narrative of the second Punic War when death arrested his work.

FREEMAN, EDWARD A. History of Federal Government. volume 1. General Introduction. History of the Greek Federations. London: Macmillan & Co. 1863.

"This noble work, in some respects the grandest of the author's conceptions, was never completed. … The war of 1866 between Prussia and Austria marked the beginning of organic changes in Germany which Mr. Freeman was anxious to watch for awhile before finishing his book. He therefore turned aside and took up the third of his three great works[the History od Sicily being the second]—the only one that he lived to complete—the History of the Norman Conquest of England." _J. Fiske. Edward Augustus Freeman (Atlantic Monthly; January, 1893)._

History of Sicily. Oxford: Clarendon Press. 1891. volumes 1-4.

Left unfinished at Professor Freeman's death. The fourth volume, prepared by other hands, from the materials that he had made ready, carries the history to the death of Agathokles.

GIBBON, EDWARD. History of the decline and fall of the Roman Empire; with notes by Milman, Guizot, and Dr. William Smith.

"We may correct and improve in detail from the stores which have been opened since Gibbon's time; we may write again large parts of his story from other, and often truer and more wholesome, points of view. But the work of Gibbon, as a whole, as the encyclopædic history of thirteen hundred years, as the grandest of historical designs carried out alike with wonderful power and with wonderful accuracy, must ever keep its place. Whatever else is read, Gibbon must be read too."

_E. A. Freeman, Historical Essays, pages 307-308._

"It is no personal paradox but the judgment of all competent men, that the 'Decline and Fall' of Gibbon is the most perfect historical composition that exists in any language: at once scrupulously faithful in its facts; consummate in its literary art; and comprehensive in analysis of the forces affecting society over a very long and crowded epoch." _Frederic Harrison, The Meaning of History, page 101._

GLADSTONE, WILLIAM E. Juventus Mundi; the gods and men of the heroic age. London: Macmillan. 1869.

GROTE, GEORGE. History of Greece, to the close of the generation contemporary with Alexander the Great. London: J. Murray. 12 volumes.

"A business man, foreign to university life and its traditions, a skeptic in religion, a positivist in philosophy and, above all, an advanced Radical in politics," Grote. "was persuaded that the great social and political results of Greek history were because of, and not in spite of, the prevalence of democracy among its states. He would not accept the verdict of all the old Greek theorist who voted for the rule of the one or enlightened few; and he wrote what may be called a great political pamphlet in twelve volumes in vindication of democratic principles. It was this idea which not only marshalled his facts, but lent its fire to his argument; and when combined with his Radicalism in religion and philosophy, produced a book so remarkable, that, however much it may be corrected and criticised, it will never be superseded. It is probably the greatest history among the many great histories produced in this century; and though very inferior in style to Gibbon's 'Decline and Fall,' will rank next to it as a monument of English historical genius." _J. P. Mahaffy, Problems in Greek History, chapter 1._

HORTON, R. F. History of the Romans. London: Rivingtons. 1885.

A short history of republican Rome, containing more of the tracing of influences, constitutional and institutional, and more of the interpreted meaning of events, than are found in any other work of its modest class.

IHNE, WILHELM. History of Rome. English edition. London: Longmans. 1871-77. 5 volumes.

Closes with the death of Sulla., where Dean Merivale begins his "History of the Romans under the Empire." "As the book maintains in all its parts a strictly judicial attitude, it is far less entertaining than the brilliant advocacy of Mommsen; but for this very reason it is to be held as a safer authority." _C. K. Adams, Manual of Historical Literature, page 124,_

"His [Merivale's] history is a great work in itself, and it must be a very great work indeed which can outdo it within its own range. In days of licensed blundering like ours, it is delightful indeed to come across the sound and finished scholarship; the unwearied and unfailing accuracy, of Mr. Merivale. … On some points we hold that Mr. Merivale's views are open to dispute; but it is, always his views, never his statements." _E. A. Freeman, Historical Essays; page. 309._

"The Roman History of Mommsen is, beyond all doubt, to be ranked among those really great historical works which do so much honour to our own day. We can have little doubt as to calling it the best complete Roman History that we have. … We have now, for the first time, the whole history of the Roman Republic really written in a way worth of the greatness of the subject." _E.

POLYBIOS. Histories; translated from the text of Hultsch by E. S. Shuckburgh. London: Macmillan & Co. 1889. 2 volumes.

Polybios, "the historian of the Decline and Fall of Ancient Greece," "is like a writer of our own times; with far less of inborn genius, he possessed a mass of acquired knowledge of which Thucydides could never have dreamed. He had, like a modern historian, read many books and seen many lands. … He had, himself personally a wider political experience than fell to the lot of any historian before or after him. … He could remember Achaia a powerful federation, Macedonia a powerful monarchy, Carthage still free, Syria still threatening; he lived to see them all subject provinces or trembling allies of the great municipality Rome." _E.
