History of Greece . By Thomas Keightley , In this volume , closely yet clearly printed , and in every respect neatly g ot tip , we have just such a History of Greece as our schools needed ; anfi one which we think the author has quite succeeded in rendering as wrdirtK y of " the man's attention as of that of the boy . It is a summary , buj ^ without becoming dry , meagre , or unpicturesque in the narrative ^ froin the attempt at comprehensiveness . The author avows his predilection for a form of society , the Aristoctatical , which , in our opinion ,
can only have fitting and useful place in a , comparatively early stage of its progress ; but his predilection has not blinded him to the glories of those old Democracies . The division of the history into the three periods , Ariitdcratical , Democratical , and Monarchical , is too artificial ; arid the acBomjialniinent * of a map would have been a benefit . We hope the author will persevere in his project of a succession of School Histories , which , if executed like the present , will probably supersede , as they will 4 eBerve * the trashy compilations and abridgements now so often put into youthful hands for want of better .
