Excerpt from The Greek Tradition: Essays in the Reconstruction, of Ancient ThoughtWhen Mr. Thomson's fine Studies in the Odyssey appeared, I happened to notice one solemn reviewer who, after four lines of earnest misdescription, con cluded by expressing his grief that any University had published such a book. It should have been strangled unborn and its author effectually silenced. Meditating on the point of view disclosed, I remembered that exactly the same thing had been said about one of my own early books. And, on further re¿ection, I recalled at least three other scholars, now occupying University Chairs or similar positions, whose early writings were welcomed in the same way.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
