Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Anabasis of Xenophon: With Copious Notes, Introduction, Map of the Expedition and Retreat of the Ten Thousand, and a Full and Complete Lexicon; For the Use of Schools and Colleges
It was found on examination that the notes on the first four books were in a tolerable state Of completeness, although not yet quite fitted for publication. The fifth and sixth books had also been annotated to a considerable extent In a number Of instances Professor Crosby seems not to have determined finally upon critical points, whether as to readings or interpretation, but to have held in reserve various matters for a last revision of his manu script, before sending it to the printers. It became conse quently the duty Of the undersigned to exercise his best judgment, and to use whatever discretion he possesses, in dealing with all matters of the kind. He has scrupulously refrained from altering or attempting to improve upon Professor Crosby's notes and criticisms; only here and there, as need required, a palpable oversight or mistake has been corrected; and he has felt more and more deeply, the more he has looked into the work of the departed, how profoundly to be regretted by all lovers of ancient lore is the loss of one who was so thorough and accomplished a student and so enthusiastic an admirer of Xenophon's writings.
