Author Description

Excerpt from The Life of Herodotus Drawn Out From His Book It only remains that I add a word of apology to the distinguished writer, whose book I here introduce to the English Public, for the freedom of my remarks in some of my appended notes. If in his present honorable appointment at Bonn this attempt should ever meet his eye, I hope he will receive it indulgently from one who, like himself, is a grateful admirer of "the Halicarnassian," or, as he prefers to call him, "the Thurian." Having said thus much I fall back into my character as a mere Translator. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
