Discovery in Greek Lands. By F. H. Marshall. (Cambridge University

Press. 88. 6d. net.)—Mr. Marshall has written an attractive sketch of the chief results attained by excavations in Greater Greece since 1870. He treats the subject historically, starting with the age of Knossos and Mycenae, and describing under each period the main sites examined. He gives special chapters to temples, to the famous centres like Delphi and Olympia, and to isolated discoveries like the Sidon sarcophagi or the fine statues dredged up near Cerigotto in 1900-1. He provides a useful bibliography and a number of good photo- graphs. As an introduction to a large and fascinating subject, the book is much to be commended.
