TRany. To 6-20-61 PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION. THE friendly reception accorded to my book by the press and the public having prepared the way for a second edition, I have taken the opportunity thus afforded thoroughly to revise the body of the work. I have also added an appendix in which I have endeavoured to repair some of the omissions which have been pointed out to me, as well as to include some few authors whom I had previously overlooked wholly or in part. The recent discoveries in Egypt have enabled me to supply a few passages from Bacchylides, and Herodas, as well as from Aristotle's Athenian Constitution. No doubt lacunæ will still be found in the book, notwithstanding the addition of the Appendix, but I have adhered to my determination to include nothing for which I cannot give chapter and verse, and I must confess that I have been unable to find many of the quotations the omission of which in the first edition has been brought to my notice.
