Transcriber’s Note

A number of obvious printer’s errors have been corrected, and are listed below.

Given the context, the Greek phrase on p. 15, “προσείποιμ’ αν Ἀθάνας”, is most likely a version of line 1222 of Sophocles’ _Ajax_, “προσείποιμεν Ἀθάνας”.

p. 11 brough[t] back “the men,” Added.

p. 18 so it [is] is no fault Removed.

p. 21 Greek po[t/l]itical ideas Corrected.

p. 41 as the capitals of Lysikratês[.] Added.

p. 149 [D/C]um terra celat. Corrected.

p. 157 a si[g]n perhaps of later date Corrected.

p. 169 we are led over no special[s] heights Removed.

p. 216 Yet they had enough of world[l]y wisdom Added.

p. 275 Æg[ae/æ]an Sea Corrected.
