“You imagine that the campaigners against Troy were the
only heroes, while you forget the other more numerous and
diviner heroes whom your country has produced.”

PREFACE

This volume consists of articles and monographs upon the Latin

Orient and Balkan history, published between 1897 and the present year. For kind permission to reprint them in collected form I am indebted to the editors and proprietors of The Quarterly Review, The

English Historical Review, The Journal of Hellenic Studies, Die

Byzantinische Zeitschrift, The Westminster Review, The Gentleman’s

Magazine, and The Journal of the British and American Archæological

Society of Rome. All the articles have been revised and brought up to date by the light of recent research in a field of history which is no longer neglected in either the Near East or Western Europe.
