(Publication No. 38, 1908. Second Edition, 1911). "The volume will be virtually indispensable to teachers and students of history." — Athenceum. " This task has been carefully and well performed, under the supervi- sion of Professor Tait, who has written a short but adequate introduc- tion. This little book, ought, without delay, to be added to every public or private library that contains a copy of the classic work to which it forms an indispensable supplement." — Dr. W. S. McKechnie in the Scottish Historical Review. "These supplementary studies impress one as a discreet and learned attempt to safeguard a public, which is likely to learn all that it will know of a great subject from a single book, against the shortcomings of that book."— Professor A. B. White in the American Historiccd Review. " C'est un complement indispensable de I'ouvrage de Stubbs, et Ton saura gr6 a I'Umversite de Manchester d'avoir pris I'initiative de oette publication." — M. Charles Bemont in Revue Historique. " Ce sont des modeles de critique ing^niense et sobre, une mise au point remarquable des questions les plus importantes traitces jadis par Stubbs." — M. Louis Halphen in Revue de Synthise historique. " Zu der englischen Ubersetzung dieser Excurse, durch einen verdienten jungeren Historiker, die durchaus leicht wie Originalstil fliesst, hat Tait die Vorrede geliefert und manche Note die noch die Literatur von 1908 beriicksichtigt. Die historische Schule der Universitat, Manchester, an Rtihrigkeit und strenger Methode von keiner in England vibertroSen, bietet mit der Verofientlichung der werthvollen Arbeit des Franzosen ein treffliches Lehrmittel." — Professor F. Liebermann, in Deutsche No. VIII. MALARIA AND GREEK HISTORY. By W. H. S. Jones, M.A. To which is added the History of Greek Therapeutics and the Malaria Theory by E. T. Withington, M.A., M.B.

Jones is to be congratulated on the success with which he has conducted what may be described as a pioneering expedition into a practically unexplored field of history .... the publishers are to be congratulated on the admirable way in which the book has been turned out— a joy to handle and to read." — Manchester Guardian. " This interesting volume is an endeavour to show that the decline of the Greeks as a people for several centuries before and after the Christian era was largely due to the prevalence of malaria in its various forms." — Olatgow Herdd. "[The author] .... has amassed a considerable store of valuable information from the Greek classics and other sources which will prove extremely useful to all who are interested in his theory." — Birmingham, Daily Post. 84.
