A History of the Later Roman Empire, Vol. 1

Bury, J. B.

Excerpt from A History of the Later Roman Empire, Vol. 1: From Arcadius to Irene (395 A. D. To 800 A. D.)The history of the fifth century is better known, and has been more thoroughly worked up than that of its successors. I have therefore treated it with comparative brevity, and omitted many of the details, which the reader may find in the works of Gibbon and Mn, Hodgkin. In fact, I originally intended to treat the dismemberment of the Empire...

A History of Freedom of Thought (Classic Reprint)

Bury, J. B.

Excerpt from A History of Freedom of ThoughtAt present, in the most civilized countries, freedom of speech is taken as a matter of course and seems a perfectly simple thing. We are so accustomed to it that we look on it as a natural right. But this right has been acquired only in quite recent times, and the way to its attainment has lain through lakes of blood. It has taken centuries to persuade the most enlightened peoples that liberty to pub...

Excerpt from A Students History of GreeceWith the consent of Professor J. B. Bury, I have prepared an edition of his " History of Greece for Beginners" which may serve as a text-book for Secondary Schools in this country. In preparing this edition, I have confined myself chiefly to excision, although in places a somewhat different arrangement of material has been adopted. No statement of fact has been changed, and as far as possible the author...

The Nemean Odes of Pindar

Bury, J. B.

Excerpt from The Nemean Odes of Pindar: Edited, With Introductions and CommentaryIn regard to Pindaric metres, I have adopted with hesitation the conclusions of M. Schmidt. As I have not made a thorough study of Greek metric, I do not feel competent to pronounce on a subject which demands the concentrated powers of specialists.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The book amounts to a his...

A History of the Eastern Roman Empire

Bury, J. B.

Excerpt from A History of the Eastern Roman Empire: From the Fall of Irene to the Accession of Basil I., (A. D. 802-867)It would not be just to the leading men who guided public affairs during this period, such as Theophilus and Bardas, to attempt to draw their portraits. The data are entirely insufficient. Even in the case of Photius, who has left a considerable literary legacy, while we can appreciate, perhaps duly, his historical significan...

A History of the Later Roman Empire, Vol. 2

Bury, J. B.

Excerpt from A History of the Later Roman Empire, Vol. 2: From Arcadius to Irene (395 A. D. To 800 A. D.)The absolutism of Justinian extended to the ecclesiastical world, and in church as well as in state history he occupies a position of ecumenical importance. He was a sort of imperial pontiff, and this Caesaropapism, as it has been called, represents the fulfilment of the policy which Constantius tried and failed to realise.About the Publish...
