    LOCKE ON EDUCATION. With Introduction and Notes by the Rev. R. H. Quick, M.A. $s. 6d. _ “The work before us leaves nothing to be desired. It is of convenient form and reasonable price, accurately printed, and accompanied by notes which are admirable. There is no teacher too young to find this book interesting; there is no teacher too old to find it profitable.”—The School Bullet in, Nezu York. THE TWO NOBLE KINSMEN, edited with Intro- duction and Notes by the Rev. Professor Skeat, M.A., formerly Fellow of Christ’s College, Cambridge. 3^. 6d. “This edition of a play that is well worth study, for more reasons than one, by so careful a scholar as Mr Skeat, deserves a hearty welcome.”—Athenceum. “Mr Skeat is a conscientious editor, and has left no difficulty unexplained.”—Times. BACON’S HISTORY OF THE REIGN OF KING HENRY VII. With Notes by the Rev. J. Rawson Lumby, D.D., Nor- risian Professor of Divinity ; late Fellow of St Catharine’s College. 3^. SIR THOMAS MORE’S UTOPIA. With Notes by the Rev. J. Rawson Lumby, D.D., Norrisian Professor of Divinity; late Fellow of St Catharine’s College, Cambridge. %s. 6d. “ To enthusiasts in history matters, who are not content with mere facts, but like to pursue their investigations behind the scenes, as it were, Professor Rawson Lumby has in the work now before us produced a most acceptable contribution to the now constantly increasing store of illustrative reading.”—The Cambridge Review. “To Dr Lumby we must give praise unqualified and unstinted. He has done his work admirably.Every student of history, every politician, every social reformer, every one interested in literary curiosities, every lover of English should buy and carefully read Dr Lumby’s edition of the ‘Utopia.’ We are afraid to say more lest we should be thought ex¬ travagant, and our recommendation accordingly lose part of its force.”—The Teacher. “ It was originally written in Latin and does not find a place on ordinary bookshelves. Avery great boon has therefore been conferred on the general English reader by the managers of the Pitt Press Series, in the issue of a convenient little volume of More’s Utopia not in the original Latin, but in the quaint English Translation thereof made by Raphe Robynson, which adds a linguistic interest to the intrinsic merit of the work. . . . All this has been edited in a most com¬ plete and scholarly fashion by Dr J. R. Lumby, the Norrisian Professor of Divinity, whose name alone is a sufficient warrant for its accuracy. It is a real addition to the modern stock of classical English literature.”—Guardian. MORE’S HISTORY OF KING RICHARD III. Edited with Notes, Glossary and Index of Names. By J. Rawson Lumby, D.D. Norrisian Professor of Divinity, Cambridge; to which is added the conclusion of the History of King Richard III. as given in the continuation of Hardyng’s Chronicle, London, 1543. 3s. 6d. A SKETCH OF ANCIENT PHILOSOPHY FROM THALES TO CICERO, by Joseph B. Mayor, M.A., Professor of Moral Philosophy at King’s College, London. 3s. 6d. “In writing this scholarly and attractive sketch, Professor Mayor has had chiefly in view ‘ undergraduates at the University or others who are commencing the study of the philosophical works of Cicero or Plato or Aristotle in the original language,' but also hopes that it ‘ may be found interesting and useful by educated readers generally, not merely as an introduction to the formal history of philosophy, but as supplying a key to our present ways of thinking and judging in regard to matters of the highest importance.’”-—Mind. “Professor Mayor contributes to the Pitt Press Series A Sketch of Ancient Philosophy in which he has endeavoured to give a general view of the philosophical systems illustrated by the genius of the masters of metaphysical and ethical science from Thales to Cicero. In the course of his sketch he takes occasion to give concise analyses of Plato’s Republic, and of the Ethics and Politics of Aristotle; and these abstracts will be to some readers not the least useful portions of the book. It may be objected against his design in general that ancient philosophy is too vast and too deep a subject to be dismissed in a ‘sketch’—that it should be left to those who will make it a serious study. But that objection takes no account of the large class of persons who desire to know, in relation to present discussions and speculations, what famous men in the whole world thought and wrote on these topics. They have not the scholarship which would be necessary for original examination of authorities; but they have an intelligent interest in the relations between ancient and modern philosophy, and need just such information as Professor Mayor’s sketch will give them.”—The Guardian.
