We are glad to see a reprint of Studies of

the Greek Poets, by John Addington Symonds (Black, 21s. net), an excellent book Which reached a thini edition in 1893 and has been out of print for some years. Symonds's survey of the whole subject from Homer to the Anthology still retains its full value, and the numerous quotations, many of them accompanied with English verse-renderings, are aptly chosen to illustrate the varied qualities of Greek poetry.
