Book Description
Excerpt from Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography, Vol. 1 of 2: Abacaenum-Hytanis Tm; present work completes the Series of Classical Dictionaries, and forms, with the Dictionaries of Greek and Roman Antiquities and Greek and Roman Biography already published, an Encyclopedia of Classical Antiquity. The Dictionary of Geography, like the other two works, is designed mainly to illustrate the Greek and Roman writers, and to enable a diligent student to read them in the most profitable manner; but it has been thought advisable to include the geographical names which occur in the Sacred Scriptures, and thus to make the work a Dictionary of Ancient Geography in the widest acceptation of the term. The name Greek and Roman has however been retained, partly for the sake of uniformity, but chiefly to indicate the principal object of the work.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography, Vol. 1 of 2: Abacaenum-Hytanis The present work completes the Series of Classical Dictionaries. And forms, with the Dictionaries of Greek and Roman Antiquities and Greek and Roman Biography already published, an Encyclopaedia of Classical Antiquity. The Dictionary of Geography, like the other two works, is designed mainly to illustrate the Greek and Roman writers, and to enable a diligent student to read them in the most profitable manner; but it has been thought advisable to include the geographical names which occur in the Sacred Scriptures, and thus to make the work a Dictionary of Ancient Geography in the widest acceptation of the term. The name Greek and Roman has however been retained, partly for the sake of uniformity, but chiefly to indicate the principal object of the work. Our knowledge of ancient Geography has been much enlarged within the last few years by the researches of modern travellers, many of whom have united an accurate knowledge of the ancient writers with great powers of observation and accuracy Jof description. There are few countries of the ancient world which have not been explored and described by our own countrymen; but a knowledge of the results thus obtained is confined to a few, and has not yet been made available for the purposes of instruction. Hitherto there has not existed, either in the English or in the German language, any work sufliciently comprehensive and accurate to satisfy the demands of. Modern scholarship. The German works upon this subject are unusually scanty. In English, the only systematic works worthy of mention are the well-known treatises of Cramer upon Greece, Italy, and Asia Minor, which however have now become obsolete. Since the publication of his Greece, for instance, we have had the incomparable travels of Colonel Leake, the results of the discoveries of the French Com mission in the Peloponnesus, and the works of Ross, Ulrichs, Curtius, and other learned German travellers. No apology is therefore necessary for the publication of a new work upon Ancient 'geography, which is in many respects more needed by the student than the two former Dictionaries.
