Abbott, E. Pericles and the golden age of Ath

ens. (Heroes of the nations.) "The famous son of Xanthippus makes by his position and talents an excellent centre round which to group a general picture of his town or even of his nation. Such Mr. Watkiss Lloyd found him in his admirable 'Age of Pericles,' and so Mr. Abbott has now treated him in a sketch which, though it includes a great deal, is on a smaller scale. It is needless to say that it is clear. It contains a wonderful variety of topics, and some of the very best of Mr. Abbott's writing is to be found in his remarks on Attic tragedy. The whole volume gives a well-balanced picture of the Golden Age of Athens: the lights and shades are all there; and one feels that it is the creation of a man long acquainted with all the evidence which bears upon his subject."

"This little volume professes to give us Baucherism pure and undiluted. Several books have been published in France within the last few years upon systems of horse-breaking more or less founded upon that of Baucher; but this is, or says it is, the real thing itself. The author has ridden some of the last horses made,' as we should say in England, by Baucher, and he not only took notes during the courses of instruction given by that master, but also put down any hints and suggestions which he was able to obtain in private conver sation with him. As a rule, the descriptions and instructions given in this volume are clear and concise. Books of this kind are necessarily dry reading, and in taking up this handbook the reader must expect edification rather than entertainment." - Saturday rev., Jan. 10.

If his investigation has resulted in shedding, I will not say a wholly new, but an enhanced ominous and sinister light on Newman's mental conformation, we may accept it as a needed correction of the posthumous hyperlaudation with which our ears have been recently dinned. So far as a book can be controversially crushed, so far as its arguments, with their countless perversities, disingenuous and worthless reasonings can be torn limb from limb, Dr. Abbott has performed the annihilating operation with a verve and zest which is almost savage in its ruthless intensity."

"Of course Bergk had done the work with Teutonic thoroughness before him, and the monumental Poetæ lyrici' of that editor still remains unshaken in its preeminence. But Mr. Farnell's book, in which he aims at including everything that can fairly be regarded as readable,' while he secures completeness by relegating the corrupter fragments and single phrases and epithets to the seclusion of an Appendix, will hold a distinct place of its own. The selection seems to us to have been, on the whole, judiciously made. ... The value of the book is also enhanced by the Commentary, which is scholarly and full without being diffuse, and by the va. rious essays prefixed to it, which deal with Greek lyric poetry from every possible point of view in a careful, if somewhat frigid style." - Academy, June 13.
