DICTIONARIES AND ENCYCLOPEDIAS
The most useful dictionaries of classical antiquities are H. B. Walters,
A Classical Dictionary (N. Y., 1916, Putnam, $6.50) and H. T. Peck,
_Harper's Dictionary of Classical Literature and Antiquities_ (N. Y.,
1897, American Book Co., $6.00). Cambridge University, England, has
published _A Companion to Greek Studies_, edited by L. Whibley (2d
ed., N. Y., 1906, Putnam, $6.00), and _A Companion to Latin Studies_,
edited by J. E. Sandys (N. Y., 1911, Putnam, $6.00). These two
volumes treat every phase of ancient life in separate essays by
distinguished scholars. For chronology, genealogies, lists of sovereigns,
and other data the most valuable works are Arthur Hassall, _European
History, 476-1910_ (new ed., N. Y., 1910, Macmillan, $2.25), G. P.
Putnam, Tabular Views of Universal History (new ed., N. Y., 1915,
Putnam, $2.50), and Karl J. Ploetz, _A Handbook of Universal
History_, translated by W. H. Tillinghast (Boston, 1915, Houghton
Mifflin Co., $3.00).
SYLLABI
The _Illustrated Topics for Ancient History_, arranged by D. C.
Knowlton (Philadelphia, McKinley Publishing Co., 65 cents), contain
much valuable material in the shape of a syllabus, source quotations,
outline maps, pictures, and other aids. The following syllabi have been
prepared for collegiate instruction:
Botsford, G. W. A Syllabus of Roman History (N. Y., 1915, Macmillan,
50 cents).
Munro, D. C., and SELLERY, G. C. _A Syllabus of Medieval History,
395- 1500_ (N. Y., 1913, Longmans, Green, and Co., $1.00).

ATLASES
An admirable collection of maps for school use is W. R. Shepherd,
Historical Atlas (N. Y., 1911, Holt, $2.50), with about two hundred and
fifty maps covering the historical field. The latest and one of the best of
the classical atlases is _Murray's Small Classical Atlas_, edited by G. B.
Grundy (N. Y., 1904, Oxford University Press, American Branch,
$1.35). A special feature of this work is the adoption of the system of
colored contours to indicate configuration. The Atlas of Ancient and
Classical Geography in "Everyman's Library" (N. Y., 1910, Dutton, 35
cents) might well be purchased by every student. Other valuable works
are E. W. Dow, Atlas of European History (N. Y., 1907, Holt, $1.50)
and Ramsay Muir, A New School Atlas of Modern History (N. Y., 1911,
Holt, $1.25). Much use can be made of the inexpensive and handy
Literary and Historical Atlas of Europe by J. G. Bartholomew in
"Everyman's Library" (N. Y., 1910, Dutton, 35 cents).
