Lectures on Ancient History, From the Earliest Times to the Taking of Alexandria by Octavianus, Vol. 1 of 3: Comprising the History of the Asiatic ... and Carthaginians
Excerpt from Lectures on Ancient History, From the Earliest Times to the Taking of Alexandria by Octavianus
From these preliminary remarks, it'will appear, that the present work is a literal transcript of the Lectures delivered during the years 1829 and 1830, so far as this could be done from the notes taken down in the lecture-room; but with such supplementary additions as could be derived from the courses of 1826 and 1825. All the additions from the former course are marked in the text by inverted commas, and in the notes by the dates being attached to them. A very few notes refer ring to these Lectures were found among the posthumous papers of the Historian, and wherever they are introduced in the present work, the source whence they are derived is stated.
