Author Description

Excerpt from Thucydides, Vol. 1 The Greek text of this book I. Is reprinted, by kind permission, from that. Of Mr. Stuart Jones in the Oxford series. Some years ago I prepared a text but, on comparing the Oxford text with my own, I found that mine seldom differed from it, and it seemed better to follow the new text as it stands, merely noting the few passages in which I am unable to agree with Mr. Stuart Jones. For the permission so readily accorded I tender my best thanks. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
