THE PROPOSED BRITISH SCHOOL OF CLASSICAL STUDIES AT ATHENS.

[TO THE EDITOR OF THE " $PECTATOR."]

C. Jebb. Will you allow me to add that the Greek Government have generously offered us a site of from five to ten acres on the- slope of Lycabettns, and that a meeting of the Committee will be held on Saturday next, to consider this offer, and, I hope, to.
