Author Description

Excerpt from Ancient Greece: From the German of Arnold H. L. Heeren The volume of which a translation is here offered to the public, forms in the original a portion of an extensive work, entitled, Reections on the Politics, Intercourse, and Com merce of the chief Nations of Antiquity. Mr Heeren has accomplished his design only with respect to the nations of Asia and Africa. On those of Europe, he has published nothing further than the present series of essays, which relate solely to subjects connected with the political institutions of the Greeks, and may be regarded as an independent collee tion of historical sketches.
