The Republic of Plato, i.-v. With Introduction and Notes by
T. Herbert Warren. (Macmillan.)—The notable thing in this volume (one of Messrs. Macmillan's " Classical Series ") is the introduction, a particularly graphic and vigorously written sketch of the times to which the dialogue belongs, the circumstances and character of the speakers who take part in it, and of the bearing and object of the work itself. Mr. Warren illustrates what he writes out of a reading which has been evidently extended into regions not very commonly known. The same characteristic of widely gathered illustration appears also in the notes, which, in point of quality and quantity, are mostly satis- factory, though there are renderings and grammatical remarks which are open to question. On the whole, this is a valuable addition to the " Classical Series."
