Curtius' _History of Greece_ is similar in plan and purpose to Mommsen's
_History of Rome_, with which it deserves to rank in every respect as
one of the great masterpieces of historical literature. Avoiding the
minute details which overburden other similar works, it groups together
in a very picturesque manner all the important events in the history of
this kingdom, which has exercised such a wonderful influence upon the
world's civilization. The narrative of Prof. Curtius' work is flowing
and animated, and the generalizations, although bold, are philosophical
and sound.
CRITICAL NOTICES.
"Professor Curtius' eminent scholarship is a sufficient guarantee
for the trustworthiness of his history, while the skill with which
he groups his facts, and his effective mode of narrating them,
combine to render it no less readable than sound.
