Excerpt from A Manual of Ancient Geography: With a Map Showing the Retreat of the 10, 000 Greeks Under Xenophon The work is divided into four books, of which the first, furnishn a brief outline of the gradual exten sion of geographical knowledge among the nations of antiquity, may serve as an introduction to the study, and has been printed in a somewhat smaller type, though it should be borne in mind, that without this intro duction many portions of ancient geography, especially the ideas and allusions of the poets, cannot be under stood. The Space allowed to the description of any particular country or place, has been determined by the more or less important position it occupies in the history of antiquity, so that the south of Europe and western Asia occupy the greater part of the book.

Excerpt from A Manual of Ancient Geography Dr. Kiepert's excellent Atlas of Ancient Geography is in use in many of our leading schools, and it may be supposed therefore that the appearance of this translation of his Manual of Ancient Geography will be welcome to English teachers and students. The work has enjoyed a wide circulation in Germany, serving as it does as a kind of historical and physical commentary to the various Atlases of Ancient Geography which have been published by the author during the last thirty years. The arrangement of the book for school purposes excludes any attempt at completeness. Such topographical details as can be obtained from maps are purposely omitted, while names are given in regard to their historical importance, and wherever their preservation from ancient times, in a more or less modified form, serves as a proof of continuity and permanence of population. The translation has been throughout carefully revised by the author. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
