Excerpt from Compendium of Grecian Antiquities Tm: present Compendium of Grecian Antiquities has been anti: sly two-written, and contains nearly three times as much matter as the Epitome, under which title it first appeared. The author would therefore hope, that it will be found to be improved in some proportion, at least, to the labor and care which have been bestowed upon it. The marginal references, now first introduced, will answer the purpose of questions for examination, while the Index to all the Greek words and phrases will, he trusts, make his work more valuable as a book of reference.
