SOME BOOKS OF THE WEEK.
[Under this ?wading we %Mks such Books of the week as have sot bans Taloned for review in other forms.] Ionia and the Bast. By David G. Hogarth. (Clarendon Press. 3s. 6d. net.)—This volume, the reproduction of lectures delivered before the University of London, is a valuable contribution to a subject which has of late years assumed great importance,—early Greek civilisation. Those who can look back for the space of a generation will remember that the upper limit of this civilisation was put somewhere about the eighth century at the farthest. This is the subject to which Mr. Hogarth, who follows with success the methods of the scholar and of the excavator, now makes a very welcome contribution. And he has added to it a new extension, connecting what we know of the ancient culture of the Danubian and Balkan region with that to which the names of Aegean and Mycenaean are commonly attached.
