Excerpt from Rambles and Studies in Greece At the present crisis in the East of Europe, when there seems some hope that a new order of things may be established, and the basis of some better progress attained, it would be unjust to the Greek nation, were this book with its various strictures and complaints to go forth without a clear statement of the other side of the picture. It is very much the fashion of travellers from the great nations to compare the little which the Greeks can do, and have done, with what might have been done with larger resources by other nations; and hence we have constant criticism, and wholesale detraction, of the new Hellas, its government, and its people.

Excerpt from Rambles and Studies in Greece This book is distinctly a sentimental journey, omitting much that appeared to the writer ephemeral or commonplace, and delaying in the contemplation of those things which have made Greece Of paramount importance to cul tivated Europe. The lapse of years has made it necessary to omit here and there a name, or even a prophecy which has not been fulfilled, but the main body of the book is as true now as it was a generation ago, and it has been a labour of love to endeavour to make its style more worthy of its fascinating subject. From this point of View there have been many changes made in this new edition oeci'ccl to the public to whom Greece is now accessible in an ordinary holiday time. But even to those that stay at home, it will serve as a carefully verified report of the scenery of a country which occupies so large a place in their education. The pictures of buildings and statues in the former editions have been omitted, because there is now ample facility for acquiring photographs of all the striking things here described. The main desire of the author has been not only to make the book better, but also cheaper and more. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

From the mid-eighteenth century onwards, people from Britain and Ireland began to visit Greece, mainly with a view to investigating the material remains of the ancient Greek past. Long before he gained eminence as Provost of Trinity College Dublin, and as a Classicist, John Pentland Mahaffy had been hired to accompany a Cambridge undergraduate, William Goulding, around Greece and his account of those travels was published as Rambles and Studies in Greece in 1876. In it Mahaffy describes a world wildly different from that which greets the modern visitor - at least in the methods of transport and ease (or lack of it) of getting from one place to another and the questions of where to stay. It was almost as alien to visitors from the British Isles then as it would be for visitors of this century visiting the Ireland of the nineteenth. Ancient Greece was the same as now: the beauty of the landscape endures, but then rivalries between local museums ensured that there were inadequate records of the country's antiquities, and no central record of what had actually been discovered, so travellers were often embarking on a journey of discovery, finding unrecorded inscriptions, and more importantly entire buildings, while occasional meetings with local brigands in certain parts of the country added a sense of danger and adventure. Mahaffy's work was therefore an eye-opener for the armchair traveller, and in Britain it went through five editions by 1907, each enlarged and revised, as well as being published in the USA in 1892, and in 1913 Macmillan New York published what they described as the seventh edition. The first American edition, published by Henry Coates in 1900, contained a number of contemporary photographs that had not appeared in earlier editions, and a number of these are reproduced here, with engravings that appeared in the first edition.As the editor of the present edition, Professor Brian Arkins, notes: 'This new edition of Mahaffy's Rambles and Studies in Greece reprints the text of the first edition of 1876, in which the author states that 'It is to me a cherished object to make English-speaking people intimate with the life of the old Greeks'. Mahaffy achieves that object with great éclat, so that his book functioned at the time - and still functions - as an excellent introduction to the history, archaeology, landscape, literature, visual art and music of ancient Greece. So although Mahaffy's book went into seven editions ... the first edition of 1876 has a freshness and vividness that the material added in later editions serves only to obscure; for that reason, the first edition is here reprinted, and provided with a full Commentary.' It is as interesting now to the modern reader as it was to those reading it over 130 years ago. Brian Arkins is Professor Emeritus of Classics at the National University of Ireland, Galway, and one of the Directors of the Irish Institute of Hellenic Studies in Athens. He was educated at Clongowes Wood College and at University College Dublin, where he obtained an MA in Classics and a PhD in Latin. He is the author of eleven books of criticism, including three on Latin poetry and four on Greek and Roman themes in modern Irish Literature. His most recent book is What Shakespeare Stole from Rome (2012).
