From BOOK REVIEW DIGEST 1910.

Hicks, Robert Drew.[10] Stoic and Epicurean.
*$1.50. Scribner. 10-6721

This volume in the new series entitled "Epochs of philosophy" "covers the rise, development, and gradual absorption of the two schools into scepticism and presents a fairly complete résumé of the philosophies of Zeno, the founder of Stoicism, and Epicurus, together with the contributions of Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus, and the later Epicureans. Other chapters cover scepticism, eclecticism, Pyrrhonism, and the New academy. The work is sympathetic rather than analytic." (N. Y. Times.)

"Mr. Hicks has relied mainly on the sources, and remembering the scantiness of the material it must be said that he has been able to piece together a most satisfactory exposition."

"The style is somewhat disconnected and the method of presentation fairly resembles the style. The book is a genuine contribution to our knowledge of the period and will be of high value to one who comes to it with a real interest (aroused elsewhere) in the Stoics and Epicureans."

"It is a straightforward, workmanlike study, and should prove valuable to students who are debarred from the more detailed authorities, and to general readers who desire a bird's-eye view of the ancient systems."

"The book is a thoroughly scholarly production. Mr. Hicks not only knows his subject, he has the power of presenting it in an attractive way."
