Chronological Tables of Ancient History. By A. C. Jennings. (Macmillan

and Co.)—For any one who is reading an extensive course of ancient history, this book will be of the greatest value, either for reference or revision. At a single glance the reader is reminded of the important events of any year from 753 B.C. till the year of Our Lord. Mr. Jennings has, we think wisely, con- fined himself to giving the dates generally accepted by the educa- tional works of the present day. In addition to the tables of dates, the book is furnished with an index.
