Review.
The third is not, like the two former, in Swedish, but in German. It discusses the evolution of the Greek calendar, and carries the enquiry down to Roman times. It traces the development of the luni-solar mode of time-reckoning, assigning its origin to the Babylonians. The influence of religion in the periodical festivals and other observances is considered.
All three of these articles will well repay reading by students.
