New Chapters In The History Of Greek Literature Second Series

"I have always thought of Christmas time . . . as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely."So wrote Charles Dickens in "A Christmas Carol," his tale of miserable miser Ebenezer Scrooge and his transformation into a kind and caring benefactor after visits on one Christmas Eve from the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come. Dickens's short novel is one of the most-loved works in the English language and the best-known celebration of the Yuletide season.This special pocket edition of "A Christmas Carol" features an elegant bonded-leather binding, distinctive gilt edging, and decorative endpapers. It's the perfect gift for the Christmas season, and any other season."

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from New Chapters in the History of Greek Literature, Vol. 3: Some Recent Discoveries in Greek Poetry and Prose of the Classical and Later Periods The first feeling with which readers will open this book will be that of regret at not seeing the name of Mr. Barber on the title-page. It has only been his engagement with the publica tion of other classical work which has prevented him from taking part in this Series; but the book owes very much to the advice which he gave in laying out the plan of it. It had not been the original purpose to treat Of earlier and standard authors, but the work grew under our hands; many reviewers also and other scholars desired that the record of the new literary discoveries should be made as complete as possible; and, as in the two previous Series, each contributor has treated his subject in his own way, subject to revision and discussion.
