The translation itself has been undertaken from a conviction of the entire inadequacy of any existing version to the wants of the time. The gross unfaithfulness of Beloe, and the extreme unpleasantness of his style, render his translation completely insufficient in an age which dislikes affectation and requires accuracy; while the only other complete English versions which exist are at once too close to the original to be perused with any pleasure by the general reader, and also defective in respect of scholarship.

One Volume, 8vo.
This work will enable the student or general reader, or man of the world, to put his finger at once upon the date of any particular event by means of a carefulalphabeticalclassified arrangement of the various elaborate chronologies which have been given to the world.

Alliances, wars, battles, sieges, and treaties of peace; geographical discoveries, the settlement of colonies, and their subsequent story;—with all occurrences of general historic interest—are recorded in it. It further includes the years of the leading incidents in the lives of men eminent for worth, knowledge, rank, or fame; and of the writings, &c., &c., by which they are chiefly known; discoveries in every department of science; and inventions and improvements, mechanical, social, domestic, and economical.
