. ANCIENT PERSIA, *and Iranian Civilization* *By CLEMENT HUART, Member of the Institute of France.* *With 4 plates, 35 text illustrations, and a map, 12s. 6d. net.* "A very good account of the cultural history of old Iran. A vivid picture of the country and an account of the scripts is followed by a history of the Achæmenids, Arsacids, and Sassanids. The real value of the book consists in the excellent analyses of the cultural data referring to each epoch: the social organization, the religious cults and beliefs, and the artistic productions. The powerful character sketches of the monarchs and heroes receive new life from the background in which they are set."—*Nature.* "An admirable epitome of the known facts."—*New Statesman.*
