Excerpt from The History of Greece, Vol. 6 of 8
Chapter XXXII.
Affairs of the Grecian settlement of Silicy and Italy from the death of the first Dionysius to the restoration of the second Dionysius.
Section I.
Election of the second Dionysius to the dignity of general-autocrator. Peace of eleven years. Parties in opposition under Dion and Heraclides. Banishment of Dion and Hernaclides.
The discussion of the character of the elder Dionysius and of his government, longer perhaps and more particular than would generally become historical composition, seemed warranted, and even required, by the importance of the portion of history, and by the obscurity and contradictions in which that portion of history hath been enwrapped; nor may it be less necessary toward exhibiting in just light an important sequel.
