BY DR. HENRY SCHLIEMANN.
ILIOS, the City and Country of the Trojans. The Results of
Researches and Discoveries on the Site of Troy and throughout
the Troad in.the years 1871—'72—'73—'78—"79 ; including an Auto-
biography of the Author. By Dr. Henry Schliemann, F.S.A., etc.
With a Preface, Appendices, and Notes, pp. xvi., 800. Maps,
Plans, and about 1800 Illustrations. Royal 8vo, Cloth, $7 50.
This new book is profoundly fascinating. . . . This noble book of Dr. Schliemann
is a tale of absorbing interest, and has the undoubted merit of being " all true,"
whatever critics may say of the author's speculations and theories. ... It is far
larger, more minute and copious in details, fuller of autobiographical incidents, and
more richly illustrated than any of his previous works. Some of the most learned
Orientalists and archaeologists of the world have contributed to it. . . . " Ilios " is
published in a substantial style of beauty commensurate with the great merits of
the work.—N. Y. Journal of Commerce.
Few readers of this splendid volume will close its pages without the conviction of
intuition that they have been visiting the city of Priam and the scenes of Homer's
immortal song. And those who yield only to the conviction of reason will admit
that the excavations of Hissarlik would have had an imperishable value even if the
"Iliad" had never been sung.—N. Y. Tribune.
TROJA: Results of the Latest Researches and Discoveries on the
Site of Homer's Troy and in the Heroic Tumuli and other Sites
made in the Year 1882 ; and a Narrative of a Journey in the Troad
in 1881. By Dr. Henry Schliemann, Hon. D.C.L., Oxon., and
Hon. Fellow of Queen's College, Oxford, F.S. A., etc. pp. xl., 434.
With 150 Wood-cuts and 4 Maps and Flans. 8vo., Cloth, $5 00.
Dr. Schlicmann's book is a precious repository of secrets which for some thirty
centuries have been locked within the earth.. . . From the beginning to the end of
his labors his single object was to settle a question which had been quarrelled over
by a hundred scholars, but which as yet no one had attempted so solve by excava-
tions—in other words, to find Troy. In the judgment of competent and candid
students of archaeology there is no longer any room for doubt that he has found it.

Dr. Schliemann, indeed, has erected for himself a name that can never be for-
gotten, even when the memory of the plaudits that have greeted him in the univer-
sities of Germany, or in the oldest university of our own hind, shall have passed
away. Tiie present volume may be considered as the supplement and completion of
"Ilios." ... The results, which to some extent modify and correct the conclusions
arrived at in "Ilios," are of the highest value.—Prof A. II. Sayce, Oxford.
