Excerpt from Pausanius the Spartan The domestic interest of that narrative is supplied by the story of Cleonice a story which, briefly told by Plutarch, suggests one of the most tragic situations it is possible to conceive. The pathos and terror of this dark, weird episode in a life which history herself invests with all the character of romance, long haunted the imagination of Byron, and elicited from Goethe one of the most whimsical illustrations of the astonishing absurdity into which criticism sometimes tumbles, when it o'erleaps itself and falls 0 the other. Writing of Manfred and its author, he says: There are, properly speaking, two females whose phantoms forever haunt him and which, in this piece also, perform principal parts. One under the name of Astarte, the other without form or actual presence, and merely a voice. Of the horrid occur rence which took place with the former, the following is re lated: When a bold and enterprising young man, he won the affections of a Florentine lady. Her husband discovered the amour, and murdered his wife. But the murderer was the same night found dead in the street, and there was no one to whom any suspicion could be attached. Lord Byron removed from Florence, and {lime spirits lzazmlea' lzim all lzis life affer. This romantic incident is rendered highly probable by innumerable allusions to it in his poems as, for instance.

Excerpt from The Spartan Twins One lovely spring afternoon long years ago in Hellas, Lydia, wife of Melas the Spartan, sat upon a stool in the court of her house, with her wool-basket beside her, spinning. She was a tall, strong-looking young woman with golden hair and blue eyes, and as she twirled her distaff and twisted the white wool between her fingers she sang a little song to herself that sounded like the humming of bees in a garden.

Excerpt from Falkland; The Pilgrims of the Rhine; Pausanias, the Spartan Messrs. Routledge therefore desire to state the motives which have induced them, with the consent of the author's son, to include Falkland in the present edition of his collected works. In the first place, this work has been for many years, and still is, accessible to English readers in every country except England. The continental edition of it, published by Baron Tauchnitz, has a wide circulation; and, since for this reason the book cannot practically be withheld from the public, it is thought desirable that the publi cation of it should at least be accompanied by some record of the above mentioned fact.

Excerpt from The Spartan and Theban Supremacies Xenophon has filled the pages of his Hellenika.' I have, of course, derived the greatest assistance from the works of Thirlwall, Grote, Prof. E. Curtius, and lastly from my co-editor Mr. Cox but the narrative is based mainly on Xenophon and Plutarch, and I have attempted to lighten to some extent the charge of dullness so often brought against the Hellenika' by borrowing many of the graphic touches of humour and description which frequently redeem its general dreariness.

Excerpt from book: he could remember. This was her Lacedaemon. At last they stood upon its sacred soil. All that afternoon, as they followed the road south down the bed of the river Oinous, Makaria seemed in a dream. No roughness of the way, no pools left by the rain through which they waded ankle deep, no tangle of fallen trees across the path ? nothing could stay her. She put the branches away with a mighty hand. She strode the loose, slippery stones unpausing. Her long ten years of married exile were drawing to a close, and she would fain have crushed the last few hours into moments of time. At last the road emerged. They clambered up a little hillside, and there, before them in the sunset light, lay the whole circle of hollow Lacedaemon, and Sparta in the midst, Sparta, breeder of men. Makaria gave a little sharp cry, then stood in seeming quiet. .It was indeed a view to contemplate. Beyond the narrow plain Taygetos rose. First, lesser hills with shadow-purple gorges and Sash of leaping streams, then the mighty slope, soft with its forest multitudes. Above, on the vast, bare cliffs hung the tired battalions of the storm, heavily purple in the golden light, casting shadows broad as counties over uplands and ravines. And above the clouds, at the sheer zenith edge, gleamed the perennial snows, peak upon peak, billowing away and away in upper air like a visible god-place unsullied by mortal tread. In such fashion do the awful hills o'ershadow Lacedaemon, and close her in from the world. But it was not at the hills that the Spartan woman looked, not even at the plain with golden harvest breasthigh, where olives here and there flung lengthened shadows across the grain. She saw only the town itself. It looked to Aristodemos small and mean enough. But to her eyes its every roof was dear. ...
