Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

First published in 1921, Gilbert Murray's treatise considers a
largely euro-centric foreign policy during the inter-war period.
Believing passionately in the prospect of a Liberal England and the
hope promised by the League of Nations, with Britain at its centre,
Murray argues that a secure future can only be obtained through
'equal law, good government and good faith'. Concentrating on a
number of country-based studies, the main focus is on how to avoid
the causes of international war; Murray supports the International
Financial Commission's recommendation that this could be partly
achieved through disarmament and freedom of trade. This is a
fascinating title that will be of particular value to history
students researching the inter-war period and the League of
Nations.
First published in 1964, this is a short collection of both
literary and philosophical essays. Whilst two essays consider Greek
literature written at the point at which the Athenian empire was
breaking apart, another group explore the background from which
Christianity arose, considering Paganism and the religious
philosophy at the time of Christ. These, in particular, display
Gilbert Murray's 'profound belief in ethics and disbelief in all
revelational religions' as well as his conviction that the roots of
our society lie within Greek civilization. Finally, there is an
interesting discussion of Order and the motives of those who seek
to overthrow it.

First published in 1938, these lectures argue that liberality is
the foundation of civilization. According to Gilbert Murray,
civilization provides the surplus of security, leisure and wealth
that makes liberality possible; a failure of liberality is the
surest test of the failure of a civilization. This is a fascinating
reissue that will be of great value to students with an interest in
political philosophy and the foundations of liberal society.
Gilbert Murray translated and made available to modern readers The
Epitrepontes of Menander or The Arbitration for the first time in
1945. The Arbitration is among the most frequently quoted and most
famous of Menander's plays and - being less farcical than others -
belongs to his mature style. With an interesting and informative
introduction, this translation will be of value to any student of
Classics and Ancient Greek drama.
This book collects together four essays by the very well-known
academic Gilbert Murray that were first presented between 1914 and
1939. The author seeks to present a statement of his profound
belief in ethics and disbelief in revelational religions. The
philosophy of this great thinker is accessibly written while it
addresses deep questions of the nature of morality and the basis of
religions. This collection was first published in 1940.
