First History of Greece (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from First History of Greece<br><br>The history of Greece is, in general, very perplexing to children, from its involving events connected with a number of small states, the names of which are for the most part new to them. Even to read it with a map does not materially lessen the difficulty; for children, especially girls, rarely know much of ancient geography; and whilst they are laboriously searching for the unknown places, the thread of the history is interrupted, and their attention perhaps irrecoverably distracted.<br><br>With the view of lessening this evil, a short chapter has been prefixed to the following history, containing the name of the Grecian states, and the chief places mentioned as connected with them.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
