Reviews

Professor Clarke's book presents both a reliable and a pleasant introduction to the subject. It should be read by every classical scholar. <br>-A. D. Leeman, Mnemosyne <br>... admirably organized and documented...marked by great clarity and good sense. Latinist and layman alike will enjoy and profit by this excellent book. <br>-Richard T. Bruere, Classical Philology <br> It is...a pleasantly written book, fully documented, and will be a useful text for anyone wishing an introduction to this branch of Latin literature. <br>-Harry M. Hubbell, American Journal of Philology <br> The book will, one feels, hold its place as a standard work for some time to come. <br>-E. W. Bower, Classical Review <br>
