Book Description

Excerpt from Walk in Hellas, or the Old in the New Moreover, I intend to tell you many things which are small and unimportant. But little matters, if they be chosen with some insight, are the true characters by which we may spell out a nation or an age; small things often most vividly image the greatest deeds, the pro foundest thoughts. You know that the key-stone of the arch may be a pebble; the one pithy anecdote may be the concentrated utterance of centuries. And Greece herself is small, very small compared to most countries, but what does she not stand for? Exceeding small she is still that is just her gift, to make herself with her small ness the abiding image of what is worthiest and most beautiful in the world's history. Small things we shall not despise, when our very theme, Greece herself, is so small. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
