- good
The quality of the book's material and type are very good. There are a great many references to illustrations, maps, pictures, etc. The book I have has no illustrations. If I had known, I would have purchased a book with illustrations.

- Conventional View Of Atlantis
Being a student of Atlantis I felt I should read this book since it's considered a classic on the subject.

The theories about Atlantis range from the ordinary and mundane to the fantastic.

Donnelly is definitely on the conventional, mundane side of that range. He views Atlantis as just an earlier culture that reached advanced stages of religion, government, and basic technological advances which we have now far surpassed.

- the antediluvian world
Being a latinamerican reader as well as a student of the 19th egyptian dinasty, I have been delighted with Mr. Donnelly's treatment of the correlations between the native american and egyptian archeologies. This work becomes a magnificent base for the study of the hyperborean 1196 B.C. invasion, a theme of my deepest interest.I am of course interested in the other books in your Atlantis series. I highly recommend this book to the Amazon friends as an excellent historical review.Thanks !

- Ignatius' work is enjoyable and packed with rare texts
Whether or not you think there was an Atlantis, this work should be read on account of the breath of insight which typifies some (not all) 19th century scholars. Professors today are often incapable of such writing because their feild of study is too narrow. This was written before Atlantis became associated with flaky new-age belief systems. It is packed with exerpts from hard to find texts from the ancient world. The analysis is graceful and intriguing, and it is hard to set the book down.

- The definitive work for all Atlantis researchers!
This is the ultimate book on Atlantis. Well written (though hard to understand at times due to the 19th century grammar), well researched, and very informative. Required reading for anyone interesting in Atlantis. ...
