Sinossi
Excerpt from Life and Exploits of Alexander the Great: Edited and Illustrated With English Notes, and References to Harkness' Latin Grammar
But a worse calamity than mere ignorance of the time of our author's birth, and of the particulars of his life, meets the reader on the very threshold. Time, ever edaa: o'ermn, has devoured the whole of the first two books, and made sad inroads into one or two of the others. These defects have, in a measure, been sup plied by learned men, particularly by John Freinsheim, whose excellent supplements have called forth the re mark of a distinguished biographical writer, that he has been so successful that we almost cease to lament the loss of the original. As the supplements of Frein sheim are very long, the Editor has, in most instances, inserted those of Chris. Cellarius, which, though brief, will supply to the curious student a sufficient outline of the early years of Alexander, and also fill up the Zaczmce that occur in the course of the narrative.
One word as to the text of the present edition. It has been printed from an Editio Lugdunensz's of 1810, with such emendations as a collation of other editions, and the suggestions and conjectures of critics seemed to render advisable. In one or two instances only has the Editor ventured to introduce a reading of his own, and these are mentioned and defended in the notes.
