Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is the foundational work of the ancient Greek historian Herodotus, widely considered the âFather of History.â Written around the 440s BCE, it details the Greco-Persian Wars from their outbreak in 499 BCE to the Persian defeat at the Battle of Mycale in 479 BCE. The narrative is divided into nine books, each focusing on a different aspect of the conflict. Herodotus sought to explain the causes of the war and to preserve the memory of the great events that had unfolded. The book provides invaluable insights into the political, military, and cultural aspects of the ancient world, making it an essential read for anyone interested in ancient history and the origins of Western civilization. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…

3pp., 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged. He praises Macgregor's book for representing 'most faithfully the spirit of the original. This I take it is the chief merit of any translation.' Macgregor's 'employment in this manner so distinct from the ordinary pursuits of the leisure of an officer, proves the work to be "con amore"'. He mentions the collection of 'Professor Jacobs', feeling that such work will 'give the author a high standing amongst the scholars of our country, but it is for those who engage in such works to be generally aware that as a commercial speculation they are not likely to succeed.' Referring to Blackwood's Magazine, he states that he is himself 'in the habit of writing for a very popular periodical, and finding no place for classical articles. The public taste is not sufficiently chastened and refined. Otherwise I believe that the works of Walter Savage Landor would rank with the first of the day.' He does however feel that things are turning in the right direction, 'which is to divorce scholarship from pedantry'. In a postscript he states that he has 'several connexions in the Indian army, amongst others Dr. Marshall who I believe was chief of the original staff in Burmah, and is now in this country'. See Catherine Reilly, 'Mid-Victorian Poetry, 1860-1879' (2000).…
