Excerpt from Some Aspects of the Greek Genius This volume consists chiefly of lectures delivered to the Greek Class at the University of Edinburgh. It includes also one or two addresses, more or less popular in character, given to other audiences, and an article on Sophocles, which is reprinted from the Fortuzlg/zt/y Review. There is little, I fear, in these pages which' can be of value to the professed scholar in any given department of Greek learning. But there are many persons who have had a classical education and yet are not specialists, and who may care to have some of the impressions that are left on the mind by the study of Greek literature revived and brought to a focus. There are also some who, without a knowledge of the Greek language, have acquired a love of Greek literature and an interest in the thought of Greece. To both classes of readers this book is addressed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
