EUTROPIUS. Books I and 11. By Cecil Laming, M.A. London : Blaikie and Sons.
To the same series, and uniform in appearance and airangement, belongs this monograph on the nrst and second books of Eutropius, with this exception — the Avork is numerously and pleasantly relieved by illustrations.
The introduction comprises a very interesting sketch of the life and times of Eutropius, and thus presents incidentally a picture of Rome and her neighbours. The scope of his Avork is indicated by Mr Laming in his preface thus : "This edition of Eutropius is intended to provide a reading book for beginners in Latin, such as •will at the same time give a brief but connected account of the first 200 years ofthe history of Rome."
The comment made by us on the edition of Macaulay's " Essay on Horace Walpole,'' issued -by Messrs Bkikie and_ recently noticed by v«, applies exactly to the present Avork. "It Avill bs most acceptable to teachers, to students, and to readers in out-of-the-Avay places"; all these will appreciate the mass of information so systematically prranged round the central theme."
