Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Greek Wit a Collection of Smart Sayings and Anecdotes Translated From Greek Prose Writers The reader will understand that this collection of Anecdotes is made according to no order, and with no classification in respect of subject or date. They are taken just as they were noted down in the course of reading. It is to be observed also, that in no instance is a literal translation given. It has been thought advisable in many cases even to abbreviate, that the point of each may be conveyed in as few words as possible. For the purpose intended - to amuse, perhaps to instruct - nothing would have been gained by any affectation of minute accuracy, or by any method or system of arrangement. It is believed that most of these "Sayings" are not commonly known, nearly all of them being taken from writers little read in the schools. The series might be extended almost indefinitely. Should this little work meet with any success, Part II. will follow at no long interval. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
