Excerpt from Essays on the Institutions, Government, and Manners of the States of Ancient Greece

The following Essays are the substance of a part of the lectures, which for many years have been read to the more advanced students of Greek in the university of St. Andrew's, and are now published in the hope of their being useful to those, who are engaged in the study of Grecian literature. All the Greek authors make so many allusions to the government and manners of their countrymen, that, without a knowledge of these particulars, many easy passages will seem obscure or unintelligible.
