A Source Book of Roman History. By Dana Carleton Munro,

M.A. (D. C. Heath. 5s.)—It is a good idea to give the general reader the advantage of seeing in English the original authorities from which Roman history is drawn. The selection is excellent, as far as we have been able to examine it, the editor going far out of the common track and utilising the latest discoveries, as, e.g., the Oxyrhynchus papyri. The volume is furnished with illustrations.
