Horizon Book of Ancient Rome1 review
William Harlan (editor) Hale

New York: American Heritage Press, 1966, 1966

Concise and clear.
In an age when Latin has become rare and history before the Clinton era is befogged, this book serves a real purpose.

Westward Ho! By Charles Kingsley, illustrated by Edward A. Wilson7 reviews
