Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Constitutional Antiquities of Sparta and Athens There are three different kinds of books which we may use in studying the Constitutional Antiquities of Greece. We may gather our information from articles in a Dictionary of Antiquities; or we may select the constitutional chapters in any comprehensive History of Greece; or, lastly, we may consult a Handbook specially devoted to this topic alone. Articles in a Dictionary are certainly useful for the study of minute details, but information derived from this source is apt to be disconnected and unsystematic. Again, the constitutional chapters in a History do not usually dwell on points of detail, while the total space which a historian can afford to assign to constitutional subjects is generally only a small part of the entire work. It may also be observed that the constitutional portions of Grote´s History of Greece, originally published in 1846-1855, do not in any of the later editions take account of the important criticisms of Schomann, which appeared in 1854, and were translated into English in 1878, while, of course, they cannot include the results of more recent research in the same department of learning. As compared with a Dictionary, a good Handbook is at least as minute, while it is much more systematic; as compared with a History, it leaves much more room for full and comprehensive treatment.
