Author Description

Excerpt from History of Greece, Vol. 2: From the Earliest Times to the End of the Persian War By far the largest portion of this volume was translated by the late Miss Alleyne, and I have done no more than make the corrections which were necessary in carrying her translation through the press. My own work begins on page 353. The references have been verified throughout, with a few exceptions. The index has been compiled by my friend Mr. Merk, Scholar of Balliol College. I have to thank Mr. Andrew Lang for his kindness in reading over a large part of the proof-sheets. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
