THE WAY OF THE GREEKS
APRIL 1930 J. B. Stearns

By F. R. EABP, Oxford University Press, 1929.

This attractive volume offers an interesting approach to a fascinating problem—the greatness of Greece. In a series of connected essays on such subjects as The Force ofTradition, Religion and Institutions, Emotionin Art and Literature, the author seeks to describe the attitude of mind characteristic of the average Greek of the classical period. The selection of material is skillful, the analysis clear, the writing sensible. The book is not for pedants nor for children, but any other reader would, I expect, enjoy it.

Department of Greek and Latin.
