Notes: "In the following pages, in the compilation of which the author acknowledges great obligation to the excellent history of Greece, by Chambers, an attempt has been made to give an ample and faithful account of the ancient Greeks, and to present in detail, a view of their manners and customs, their modes of thought, speech and action. A large space is devoted to their celebrated men, and especially to their philosophers, poets, historians, and artists. This work is the fourth, in a series of histories intended for schools. The first relates to the United States; the second to England; the third to France; and the fifth, which will be speedily published, to Rome."--Preface, verso of title page. Includes questions for study.
