The want of an interesting work on Greek and Roman mythology,suitable for the requirements of both boys and girls,has long been recognized by the principals of our advanced schools.The study of the classics themselves, even where the attainments of the pupil have rendered this feasible,has not been found altogether successful in giving to the student a clear and succinct idea of the religious beliefs of the ancients ,and it has been suggested that a work which would so deal with the subject as to render it at once interesting and instructive woule be hailed as a valuable introduction to the study of classic authors,and would be found to assist materially the labours of both master and pupil.
