Presidential Address
It has been the laudable and most natural custom of my predecessors in this Presidential Chair to deliver as their swan-song of farewell to the Society a prophecy or forecast of the progress of Historical Study in the future, setting forth the many fields of historical knowledge that remain yet unconquered, and describing how best the attack on the tcrra incognita may be conducted. This is a worthy ambition: and no doubt such addresses may, from …
Presidential Address
Ever since recorded history begins, and probably for untold centuries before, a never-ending strife between the East and the West has been in progress, and the tide of conquest and invasion has been mounting eastward or westward, only to reach its high-water mark, stand still for a moment, and then commence slowly or quickly toretire.

Save in this one single case, the currency has been spared by even the worst, the weakest, and the most unfo…
Some Notes on the Πoλiteia Tωn Aθhnaiωn
It is twenty months since the first rumours of the discovery of the now famous πολıτεĺα τν 'AΘηναĺΩν went round the learned world, and a year and a half has elapsed since the book itself appeared to vex the souls of those engaged in the teaching of ancient history, and to force them to recast paragraph after paragraph of the books or lectures which had long served them well, but whose hypotheses were, alas ! more often upset than confirmed by the…
