which terminated so disasterously to his ship

THE Persian monarchy lasted for about
200 years from the year $50 to the year
$50 before Jesus Christ. 1t was founded by
Cyrus, who, by Inheritance or BIZ conquest,
reunited under one head the kingdoms OF
Persia, Of Media, Of Lydia, of Babylon, and
of Nineveh. Historians do not agree in the
circumstances of the birth, actions, virtues,
and death Of this prince. Those who have
undertaken to describe him arc Herodotus.
Ctcsias, and Xenophon. Herodotus and
Xenophon are altogether opposed to each o.
Their in their recital Of the leading incidents Of
the reign OF Cyrus. Cicero thinks that we
ought not TO regard the work Of Xcnophon
as genuine history, but merely as an hsto-
rical romance, wherein the author has pain
ted his hero, not what he is, but what he
fought to be. Yet the facilities which Keno
phon enjoyed of obtaining information from
an authentic source at the court of the youn-
ger Cyrus, and the well-known partially OF
the Greeks in general against the Persians,
have induced many to prefer Xenophon, who
is favorable 70 then, to Herodctus, who
