PAUL'S SCHOOL WITH MAP, 3 PLANS, AND 27 ILLUSTRATIONS LONDON: GEORGE BELL & SONS YORK STREET, COVENT GARDEN 1902 Ferne 20, 19:3 Harvard University, Gift of the Publishers. HARVARO * This Volume may be had with or without Vocabulary. First published, 1900. Reprinted, with corrections, 1902. PREFACE THIS is an elementary edition: the difficulties solved are such as perplexed the editor in the days of his youth-the meaning of 'stage' and 'parasang,' and what the book is all about. There is absolutely no trace of erudition between these covers, and the editor has endeavoured to present to the young learner a portion of Xenophon's masterpiece as what it is a delightful book of travel and adventure written by a soldier and a sportsman. YATTENDON, January, 1900. |
