Author Description

Excerpt from History of Greece, Vol. 1: Section 1 The latter was first published in 1851; since that time, however, many books have been written upon Greece, many explorations made in Hellenic soil, numberless inscriptions have been found, of which some throw a new light upon points for merly obscure: it is my duty to the French Academy, which crowned this work in 1861, to seek to render it less unworthy of the approbation bestowed upon it.
