Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of Greek: Historical Inscriptions In the first place, the accession of new material, owing to discoveries at Athens, Delos, Delphi, and elsewhere, has been so large, that the volume must have grown beyond due limits had one attempted to cover the whole period embraced in the first edition. It seemed best to Omit Parts vi - ix alto gether, and close the collection with the death of Alexander. This sacrifice to the demands Of space, although justified by an indifference to post-alexandrine studies too common amongst British scholars, has been a painful one: for it was with Alexander that Greece entered upon her work Of hellenizing the world, and Greek history might more truly be said to begin than to end at his death.
