Excerpt from GreeceThis little book aims at giving, in simple outline, a geographical and historical description of the kingdom of Greece, without wholly excluding the provinces and islands of Turkey wherein the Hellenic race predominates. If greater attention seems to be paid to the historical element than is contemplated in the general plan of the Series, the reader will probably have no difficulty in admitting that, in the case of Greece more than in that of any other European country, geography apart from history is unsatisfactory, not to say misleading. For years to come the map of the Balkan Penin sula must be subject to variations, and it would be idle, at such a crisis as the present, to define the frontiers of Greece without having regard to the bordering provinces, and to the historical facts which involve the variations aforesaid.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
