Name on free endpaper. (Rare).Ferguson presents a study of the treasure lists of Athens from the closing years of the Peloponnesian War, and can be of interest for epigraphists and students of the economic history of the period. ‘Not the least of the contributions in this volume is his proof that certain documents previously assigned because of their Ionic script to the period after Euclides and printed in the second volume of the Corpus on that account must be transferred to the first volume. Now that Prof. Ferguson has prepared the way, other documents can be likewise transferred.’ (Allen B. West in The American Historical Review, 1932, p.89).
