'The author is not surpassed...in intimate and accurate acquaintance with the whole field of Greek literature and antiquity; while none of his predecessors have approached to him in the amount of philosophy and general mental accomplishment which he has brought to bear upon the subject' - J. S. Mill's review in the Edinburgh Review This is a complete reprint of the 10-volume 4th edition. Published posthumously in 1872, it is considered the best edition, containing a portrait, maps and plans plus a note by Mrs Harriet Grote. Grote's exposition was based on a thorough knowledge of the subject and, as a friend of James Mill, John Stuart Mill, Jeremy Bentham and David Ricardo, an exceptional background in politics, philosophy and economics. His unparalleled experience meant his understanding and interpretation of Greek life was second to none. The History is written in an accessible style, with penetrating portraits of Greek political and philosophical thought that made the subject intelligible as never before. Grote's study is the pinnacle of nineteenth-century Greek scholarship and is still of immense value to the modern classics scholar. --monumental nineteenth-century work that set the new standard in Greek scholarship --particular emphasis on philosophy and politics --great nineteenth-century historian, who also wrote the highly acclaimed Plato and the Other Companions of Sokrates and Aristotle

Actually, this is the second time I attempted to order the one volume abridgment of the twelve volume set. This abridgment is highlighted in the description of all these books on the main page I guess. I researched to get the exact ISBN of this abridgment with the authors' names (not Grote), but still ended up getting a random volume out of the twelve possible, twice. They are nice books replicated from the original, so its all good. I'm sure that abridgment is out there. Just be prepared to get the exact volume you want, one of the twelve, or let me know if you find the abridgment of the twelve.
