Author Description

Excerpt from History of Greece, From the Earliest Times to the Destruction of Corinth, B. C. 146: Mainly Based Upon That of Connop Thirlwall, D.D., Bishop of St. David's Under such circumstances, it appeared desirable that the results arrived at in the voluminous works of these authors should be made available for educational purposes. The History of Greece is taught, more or less, in all schools and colleges which profess to 'give a liberal education; and as by far the greater number of young students'want either the means to procure or the time to study the great works on this subject, it has been thought advisable to prepare a manual containing, within a reasonable compass, an accu rate and complete outline of the subject, and not unworthy to serve as an introduction to the masterpieces of classical historical literature produced in our own age and country.
