The fact that the educated men of to-day are not as familiar with the
Greek and Roman classics as were their fathers gives added value to Mr.
Walsh's fascinating compilation. He gives the name and setting of all the
any-wise important characters in the literature of classical, mediæval
and legendary times. To one who is accustomed to read at all widely, it
will be found of the greatest assistance and benefit; to one who writes
it will be invaluable. These books comprise a complete encyclopedia of
interesting, valuable and curious facts regarding all the characters of
any note whatever in literature. This is the latest addition to the
world-famous Lippincott's Readers' Reference Library. Each volume, as
published, has become a standard part of public and private libraries.
