Excerpt from Stories From Greek History: In a Series of Tales Related to His Son
The Translator, in presenting to the English reader the following Tales from Mythological History, cannot but congratulate the English public on the means now afforded them of seeing how a mind so filled with various learning, and the results of deep research, as that of the historian of the Roman Republic, could condescend to the mind of a child, and represent with an almost infantine simplicity those tales - the unexplained traditions of centuries, to which he was the first to supply a key. The object of the translator in the execution of his humble task has been to render the simple diction of the original, and if he be pronounced to have succeeded in this, he will be fully satisfied.
