F.W.  BUSSELL

THE SCHOOL OF PLATO:  its Origin and Revival under the Roman Empire.  By F.W.  BUSSELL, M.A., Fellow and Tutor of Brasenose College, Oxford. In two volumes.  Demy 8vo.  Vol.  I.

In these volumes the author has attempted to reach the central doctrines of Ancient Philosophy, or the place of man in created things, and his relation to the outer world of Nature or Society, and to the Divine Being.  The first volume comprises a survey of the entire period of a thousand years, and examines the cardinal notions of the Hellenic, Hellenistic, and Roman ages from this particular point of view.

In succeeding divisions the works of Latin and Greek writers under the Empire will be more closely studied, and detailed essays will discuss their various systems, e.g.  Cicero, Manilius, Lucretius, Seneca, Aristides, Appuleius, and the New Platonists of Alexandria and Athens.

The time seems to have arrived for a new edition of Gibbon’s great work—­furnished with such notes and appendices as may bring it up to the standard of recent historical research.  Edited by a scholar who has made this period his special study, and issued in a convenient form and at a moderate price, this edition should fill an obvious void.  The volumes will be issued at intervals of a few months.
