''The Last Athenian," translated from the
Swedish of Victor Rydberg, by William W..
Thomas, Jr. This work was a great fayorite of
Mr.. Thomas at her request. The author attempts,
with much success, to give picture of Athenian

This story is one that will please large circle of
readers, although it falls far below such a work
as Kingsey's 'IIypasia," in dramatic interest
and the vividness of its descriptions of character
and incidents.
