Proceedings of. the Hellenic Club, 1910. (Horace Marshall and Son.
2s. 6d.)—The Hellenic Club arranges for a cruise in the Easter holidays, and those who are able to take a part in it have the advantage of hearing various discussions, lectures, and the like, or those who cannot go may read them afterwards in this volume, a privilege which non-members can also enjoy. The discussion given here was on the question—What brought about the downfall of the Athenian Empire? Doubtless the proximate cause was the Sicilian Expedition; but how did the policy that dictated it come to be dominant ? Various papers were read, as " Olympia," " Tiryns and Mycenae," and " Athens " by the Rev. S.- R. James ; " Pergamum" by Dr. Gow ; and "Troy" by Dr. Walter Leaf. These, and indeed all the contents of the volume, will repay reading. Non euivis contingit adire Corinthum, but it is something to have this approximation to the visit. Perhaps it would be as well to revise the "list of members," or to state that it gives the names of "Members Past and Present."
