Abstract
THIS most helpful compendium of the later Greek literature seems to us to throw much light on the intellectual atmosphere of the period covered. The Alexandrian school of philosophers and scientific workers, such as Euclid, Aristarchus, Archimedes, Eratosthenes, and Hipparchus, is given all the prominence it deserves. It is, however, the prose writers and poets who interest the author most and the quotations he gives from their works add to the value of his criticisms.
