Excerpt from Lectures on Ancient History, From the Earliest Times to the Taking of Alexandria by Octavianus, Vol. 1 of 3: Comprising the History of the Asiatic Nations, the Egyptians, Greeks, Macedonians and Carthaginians

From these preliminary remarks, it'will appear, that the present work is a literal transcript of the Lectures delivered during the years 1829 and 1830, so far as this could be done from the notes taken down in the lecture-room; but with such supplementary additions as could be derived from the courses of 1826 and 1825. All the additions from the former course are marked in the text by inverted commas, and in the notes by the dates being attached to them. A very few notes refer ring to these Lectures were found among the posthumous papers of the Historian, and wherever they are introduced in the present work, the source whence they are derived is stated.

The substance of the earlier course of Lectures, however, says Dr. M. Niebuhr, has been made use of for the present publication, for the Historian there discusses many points which are not touched upon in the later Lectures, and which there fore have been introduced to complete and enrich the present work. There is indeed a great resemblance between the courses, which in some instances are identical even in terms and expressions; and it seems that Niebuhr, when delivering the second course, availed himself of the ms. Notes taken down by one of his pupils during the first delivery. Sometimes, how ever, he seems to have disliked the repetition of the same things; and some parts, such as the history of the Jews, were omitted in the second course from want of time.
