Charles Dexter Cleveland kindle A Compendium of Grecian Antiquities (Classic Reprint)

Thb present Compendium of Grecian Antiquities has been entirefy re-tpritten, and contains nearly three times as much matter as theE pitome nnder which title it first appeared. The aatho;r would therefore hope, that it will be found to be improyed in some proportion, at least, to the labor and care which haye been bestowed upon it. The marginal references, now first introduced, will answer the purpose of questions for examination, while the Index to all the Greek words and phrases will, he trusts, make his work more yalnable as a book of reference. JH ckinton OoU ege, CarU aU fF enn, March 29, 1831. PREFACE TO A NEW EDITION. Thx first edition of this work, under the title of An Epitome of Grecian A ntiquities, was published in theS pring of 1827, when I was a senior in Dartmouth College. When Professor of Languages in Dickinson College in this state, it was re-written, enlarged nearly three-fold, and published under the present title. It passed through yery many editions, haying been adopted as a text-book in some of the best colleges and academiesin the country. Owing to many circumstances which it is unnecessary to mixtion, (one of which was the failure of the publishing house in Boston,) it went out of print, and, as copies were difficult to be had, consequently out of use. Lately, howeyer, I haye come into the possession of the stereotype plates myself and haying had them thoroughly reyised, and haying corrected some errors in them, I commit the work again to the public, asking for it nothing more than as much 4fayor as for many years it receiyed; for I know not how I could, eyen now, make a better book upon the same subject. Philadelphia November 2, 1850.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.
