The Annual Report of the British School at Athens. Session
1901-1902. (For the Hellenic Society by Macmillan and Co. 17s. net.)—The most important part of this volume is, of course, the continuation of the "Palace of Knossos," a narrative of the operations of more than four months, in which for much of that time as many as two hundred and fifty " hands " were em- ployed. It contains, we need not say, a multitude of interesting things ; among these many are more iniPortant, but few more strange, than the domestic and sanitary arrangements of the palace. Another Cretan locality; now under. course of explora- tion, is Praesos, an inland town in the eastern part of the island. Both Hellenic and pre-Hellenic remains have been discovered. The pre-Hellenic inscriptions have been made the subject of a separate paper by Mr. R. S. Conway. The Report gives an in- teresting account of the work that is being done by the Hellenic Society. If some one rich person would. deny himself the in- dulgence of buying an editio princeps, made thrice as valuable as usual, it may be, by a blunder on the title-page, and give the saving to the School at Athens
