Notes and Appendices and Maps by J. B, Bury, M.A., Fellow of
Trinity College, Dublin. JZ seven volumes. Crown 8vo.

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 his-
torical 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.
