prose usage); The Metres.

The Introduction to the Satires and Epistles is equally exhaustive, and
treats of the Life and Works of Horace; The Development of the Roman
Satire; The Dramatic and Literary Satire; The Schools of Ennius and
Lucilius; General Characteristics of the Satires; The Style of the
Satires; Colloquial Language of the Satires; The Metres.

In both volumes the commentary is eminently judicious, telling the
student all he needs to know, but never more than he will understand and
appreciate.

The two volumes, printed on Bible paper and bound together in flexible
covers, form the most attractive and convenient edition of the complete
works of Horace.

_Topography and Monuments of Ancient Rome_

By Professor S. B. PLATNER, Western Reserve University. 8vo, cloth, 528
pages. Nine Maps and Plans and 95 Illustrations. Price, $3.00.

THIS book is intended to serve as an introduction to the study of the
topography of ancient Rome for students of Roman antiquities and
history, and incidentally as a book of reference for those who have any
special interest in the monuments which still remain. It contains an
outline of the successive stages in the growth of the city, a discussion
of the topography of each region, and the position of its buildings so
far as this is known, and a detailed description of the more important
structures.

To facilitate further study, references of two classes have been added:
first, to the sources of information in ancient literature and
inscriptions, and second, to the most important material in current
periodicals and the standard works on topography.

The volume contains five double-page and four single-page maps, nearly
all of which are colored. There are ninety-five illustrations, many
reproduced from photographs.

There are chapters devoted to each of the hills of Rome, to the Tiber
and its Bridges, the Forum, the Campus Martius, Aqueducts and Sewers,
Walls, Gates and Roads, the Sacra Via, and to the Transtiberine Region.

Chapters are also devoted to Building Materials and Methods, and the
History of the Development of the City.
