Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Our Debt to Antiquity The following lectures were delivered by Professor Zielinski of St. Petersburg University in the spring of 1903 to the highest classes of the secondary schools in the capital. In the same year they were published in the Journal of the Ministry for Popular Education and appeared in separate book form. Despite a somewhat unfavourable reception in the Press the work created widespread interest, and a second edition was soon called for. In preparing it Professor Zielinski retained the form of the first. "I do not want to undo it and undo therewith the memory of hours which I count among the happiest in my life." But he emphasises the fact that this second edition, which the translators have used, is meant for the world at large. He feels strongly and reasonably that "the regeneration of the classical school, which is indispensable in the interests of Russian culture, will come about only when Society itself is convinced of its necessity." It is hoped that the work may be found of no less interest to English readers than it has proved to students on the Continent.
