4. Siècle. Avec Cartes, &c. 7 vols. 12mo., and Atlas, 4to. A view of Greek institutions and letters, not to be surpassed in either learning, judgment, or taste. Mill has made a like attempt to give, by a fictitious voyage (Travels of Theodore Ducas), the History of Letters and the Fine Arts, at their revival in Europe-which was, indeed, the first plan of Barthelemy. Next to Herodotus, Thucydides, Xenophon, Polybius, and Plutarch (the main original sources), this is the book worthiest of attention, as to Grecian history.

Pliny,

Pausanias is the main source for the ancient geography of Greece. Strabo, Ptolemy, and Stephen of Byzantium, are the other chief classic authorities. D'Anville (see Systems of Geography) and Gosselin are the modern enlighteners of the difficulties of Greek and Roman descriptive history. Emmius, Gerbelius, Gyllius, Cragius, Laurenbergius, Meursius, Schookius, Dousa, have left particular treatises on ancient Greece, which are found in Gronovius's Thesaurus Antiquitatum Græcarum. Ortelius, Cluverius, Cellarius, Bretius, and Varenius were the best writers before D'Anville, but superseded by him. Banduri and Du Cange have more particularly illustrated the antiquities and topography of Constantinople, in their collections subsidiary to the Byzantine his

torians.

A good and sensible guide to the city, ancient and modern.

For the ancient geography of Italy, consult Strabo, books 5 and 6; Pliny, chapters 5 to 19 of his 3d book; Pomponius Mela; Ptolemy, &c.; Cluverius, Italia Antiqua; Bergier, Grand chemins des Romains. As a guide to the monuments of Rome, Nardini is the best, and Vasi the latest.
