A HISTORY OF GREECE
For High Schools and Academies
By *GEORGE WILLIS BOTSFORD*, Ph.D.
_Instructor in the History of Greece and Rome in Harvard University_
8vo. Half Leather. $1.10
"Dr. Botsford's 'History of Greece' has the conspicuous merits which
only a text-book can possess which is written by a master of the
original sources. Indeed, the use of the text of Homer, Herodotus, the
dramatists, and the other contemporary writers is very effective, and
very suggestive as to the right method of teaching and study. The
style is delightful. For simple, unpretentious narrative and elegant
English the book is a model. In my judgment, the work is far superior
to any other text-book for high school or academic use which has yet
appeared. Its value is enriched by the illustrations, as also by the
reference lists and the suggestive studies. It will greatly aid in the
new movement to encourage modern scientific method in the teaching of
history in the secondary schools of the country. It will be adopted by
Stanford as the basis of entrance requirements in Grecian history."
--Professor George Elliot Howard, _Stanford University_, Cal.
"Dr. Botsford's ideal is a high one, and he has spared no pains to
realize it. He has everywhere given a foremost place to the social,
political, literary, and artistic sides of Greek civilization, and set
them forth in adequate detail; while in the manifold wars amongst
themselves and with the common foe he has been careful to give just
enough to make the course of events clear and to put the causes and
meaning of the conflicts in a proper light. He has told his tale in a
straightforward simple style that must prove taking to the mind of the
schoolboy; and he has from time to time worked in translations from
passages of the ancient Greek authors, poets, historians, and orators
alike. This gives one the feeling that we are listening to the Greeks
telling their own story; we get the events and conditions from their
point of view and can appreciate them so m
