Excerpt from Hellenistic Athens: An Historical Essay The author has aimed to trace the general move ment of Athenian affairs from the death of Alexander the Great in 323 to the sack of Athens by Sulla in 86 This has been at times a bold undertaking, and the book abounds in weak bridges thrown over broad chasms; but it seemed best to make the venture. The specialist will not be misled thereby - the guarded phraseology being, it is hoped, his sufficient danger signals while an unbroken passage is absolutely necessary for readers of general history, should any pass this way. The author trusts that nothing essential has been omitted in the text; but he has tried to relegate to the footnotes everything that has simply evidential value, and to the scientific journals all detailed arguments and investigations. For this he hopes that the hypothetical general reader will be grateful: the specialist is asked to regard the book in the context of the author's pamphlets and articles cited below1 and of the other literature listed in the general bibliography.
