Author Description

Excerpt from Thucydides: Book 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.
