"Four well-known classicists have taken the traditional chronology of Greek history texts and written a much-needed overview for modern students. By means of a chapter structure that is well designed and logical, they take us through each period of Greek history . Each chapter begins with a discussion of the sources for that period and includes annotated endnotes that deal extensively with recent scholarship. Unlike many other histories, the book goes into depth on the Hellenistic period, as well as the Bronze and Dark Ages. Although the Spartans and Athenians naturally dominate, the authors consider Sparta before Athens, reflecting the order in which the moderns have admired them. An appropriate balance is found between political, social, and cultural history, and the authors display no outlandish prejudices to derail this noble effort" 512p. illus. bibliography.index Text clean and neat, but some minor scuffing to paper wraps Book

Sarah Pomeroy has consulted archaeological data, documents, historical writing, and the literature of the high civilization of Greece and Rome with minute attention. Her book is free of anachronistic speculation about what women must have felt, speculation projected back from our age to the past. She does not draw large conclusions or form sweeping generalizations, but the details she has gathered here speak for themselves and do not readily leave the mind. Included are photographs, endnotes, a bibliography, and an index. Wide ranging examination of the evidence for the various roles and perceptions of women in Greek and Roman society. 265p. plates.bibliography.index Book

pp. [4], 115. Deckle edged. 24mo. 160 mm. Foxed. Disbound, but with the original front board and printed spine title present. Issued around the 50th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, this unusual and scarce guide to the social life and customs of Philadelphia (then the second most populous city in the U.S.) covers a wide territory with a keen eye. Lawyers, doctors, professors, popular fashions, social leaders and climbers, Utopians, etc. are examined. The Wistar Parties are named for Caspar Wistar (1761-1818) a famous physician and anatomist. It was his habit to throw open his house once every week in the winter, and at these gatherings students, citizens, scientists, and travelers met and discussed subjects of interest. These assemblies, celebrated in the annals of Philadelphia under the title of Wistar parties (or balls), were continued long after his death by other residents of that city. Very scarce and interesting. PA29
