groups his facts, and his effective mode of narrating them,
combine to render it no less readable than sound. Professor Curtius
everywhere maintains the true dignity and impartiality of history,
and it is evident his sympathies are on the side of justice,
humanity, and progress."--_London Athenaeum_.

"We can not express our opinion of Dr. Curtius' book better than by
saying that it may be fitly ranked with Theodor Mommsen's great
work."--_London Spectator_.

"As an introduction to the study of Grecian history, no previous
work is comparable to the present for vivacity and picturesque
beauty, while in sound learning and accuracy of statement it is not
inferior to the elaborate productions which enrich the literature
of the age."--_N. Y. Daily Tribune_.

"The History of Greece is treated by Dr. Curtius so broadly and
freely in the spirit of the nineteenth century, that it becomes in
his hands one of the worthiest and most instructive branches of
study for all who desire something more than a knowledge of
isolated facts for their education. This translation ought to
become a regular part of the accepted course of reading for young
men at college, and for all who are in training for the free
political life of our country."--_N. Y. Evening Post_.

PROSPECTUS

OF A

Theological & Philosophical Library

EDITED BY

HENRY B. SMITH, D.D., AND PHILIP SCHAFF, D.D.,

_Professors in the Union Theological Seminary, New York._

The undersigned propose to publish a select and compact Library of
Text-Books upon all the main departments of Theology and Philosophy,
adapted to the wants especially of ministers and students in all
denominations.

Some of the works will be translated from the German and other
languages; others will be based upon treatises by various authors; some
will be written for the Library by English or American scholars. The aim
will be to furnish at least one condensed standard work on each of the
scientific divisions of Theology and Philosophy, giving the result of
the best critical investigations, excluding, however, such histories and
commentaries as extend through many volumes.

This scheme is not presented as final, but as indicating the aim of the
editors. If suff
