Author Description

Excerpt from The Public and Private Life of the Ancient Greeks The German books from which the author of this volume has taken a large portion of his facts and observations, contain, of course, much fuller and more complete information than it was practicable to compress within the narrow limits to which he had confined himself; but they are also too voluminous either to attract, or materially to assist, beginners in Greek literature.
