Summary of the Work
I STATED in my first book that my work was to start from

I shall now take up the history of Greece during
the same period, ending at the same date, and
commencing from the 140th Olympiad. But I shall first recall
to the recollection of my readers what I stated in my second book
on the subject of the Greeks, and especially of the Achaeans;
for the league of the latter has made extraordinary progress up
to our own age and the generation immediately preceding.
