Hellenic Culture. Presented by Fritz Baumgarten, Franz Poland, Richard Wagner. 2nd edition. With 7 colored plates, 2 maps, and nearly 400 illustrations in the text and on 7 plates. [IX and 491 pp.] large 8vo. 1907. sewn ℳ 10.—, bound in cloth ℳ 12.—

This work is intended to satisfy the need for a comprehensive presentation of the entirety of Greek culture—in connection, to the best of our knowledge, with the art of Roman culture—in the scope in which it currently exists. The authors, who are currently in professional relationships with one another, have considered it their task to present historical results of the latest research in a form that is comprehensible and readable for every educated person, with special consideration for cultural depictions and the results of instruction in the upper classes of secondary schools. The written word is to be supplemented and deepened by a rich array of illustrations, which could be omitted all the less since it is precisely the cultural life of antiquity that is illustrated for us through its monuments.
"A book that, just as it is promising in its approach, testifies to the scientific thoroughness of the authors. Everywhere, in the treatment of art, the individual points are touched upon in depth, with great expertise and regarding personal circumstances. The presentation is mostly concise, yet rich in content, understandable, and pleasing. ... the same for the treatment of art. Nowhere does anything worth considering remain untouched, which allows the reader to rest in his enjoyment, because the explanations are not lacking ... Alongside the raising of the external beauty of art, the development of the mind is also given full due. Life, especially in Athens, is presented clearly and with mastery in all its relationships. Comparisons with modern conditions facilitate understanding. The description of intellectual life highlights the powerful developments in particular, yet it does not remain merely with facts and judgments, but always remains objective, also providing samples or good content summaries of the works in question, which otherwise open up an understanding of the significance of this intellectual product to a reader unfamiliar with Greek literature."

"The lectures contain far more: a quite unusual clarity regarding the spirit and intellectual life of the Greeks, by virtue of a maturing power of conception, such as one like Burckhardt possessed, historical-psychological ... of great charm and in places of downright sublime effect. — Regarding the author ... who understands how to lead the readers into his thought in this way, it is to be mentioned that the thought-heavy power of his language flows so freely, almost imperceptibly, that one often hardly knows whether the inner beauty of the perception or its price in memory deserves higher admiration ..."

History of the Hellenistic Age. By Julius Beloch. 1st Volume: The Foundation of Hellenism. [X and 438 pp.] large 8vo. bound ℳ 10.—, bound in half-French ℳ 14.—

"Beloch never avoids a difficulty; incessantly with his development, the possibilities remain under consideration. The detail belonging to the work appears only in sections, purely illustrative. Thus, a historical structure has emerged, worked out, where every stone can show what it can and cannot do, with which Beloch recently approached this task, in order to [achieve] the power of mastery ... [with an] elevated sense or work that may be worked out completely anew, going beyond limits, which corresponded to the generation of Alexander, the author seeks ... in research and presentation, according to form and content a ..."
