Aristotle's Constitution of Athens
Translated for English Readers and Students (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Aristotle's Constitution of Athens: Translated for English Readers and Students<br><br>The treatise on 'The Constitution of Athens' has been translated by me primarily for such English readers as may feel curiosity about a book which has excited, and is still exciting, so much interest in the learned world.<br><br>The recovery of such a book, after its loss for so many centuries, is an event in literature; at the same time its argument, largely concerned as it is with the development of democracy at Athens, provides matter of political and practical, rather than of academic, interest for the English reader of to-day.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
