Excerpt from Xenophon's Cyropædia: Or Institution of Cyrus, and the Hellenics, Literally TranslatedOf the Hellenics the best previous version is that of Dr. Smith, who, though he sometimes mistakes the sense, gives in general a correct representation of his author. Bit he is too fond of subdividing the sentences of the original, which breaks the current' of the narrative, and often produces tameness.The present versions are, it is believed, as verbally exact as is consistent with neatness and perspicuity. Some con junctions, which, if preserved, would but offend the general reader, without being of any profit to the student, have been omitted, and the present tense has sometimes been changed into the past, as most suitable to English style.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
