J B Bury

'...a thoroughly reliable and a highly attractive volume. Meiggs is to be congratulated on his success in combining preservation and adaptation so successfully.' - Hermathena '...a major overhaul by Russell Meiggs in the light of modern research... The future of Bury's History as a major reference work seems assured.' - Ancient History 'Bury resurgens: seventy-five years old and still going strong!... Bury-Meiggs is now once again indisputably the standard history of Greece for the sixthformer and undergraduate.' - JACT Bulletin

In print for more than thirty years, this book has long served as a standard text on the Germanic penetration of the Roman Empire. Bury's history is indispensable to anyone who seeks to understand the connection between the barbarian migrations of the third to the ninth century and the framework of modern Europe.
