George Bancroft Ancient Greece

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The volume of which a translation is here offered to the public, forms in the original a portion of an extensive work, entitled, Reflections 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.
