Description
Among all the historians of antiquity, whose works have been judged worthy 'of the admiration or regard of later times, there is none perhaps so. Little known as the author who is now ofl'ered to the public. The words, grave, judicious, excellent, are indeed transmitted from pen to pen, and fill the mouth of every critic. But though the name of Polybius be thus still accompanied with some mark of respect and honour, his real character 'has remained almost unnoticed; and his writings, even though confessed to be the object of esteem and praise, by degrees have fallen under that kind of neglect and general disregard, which usually foreruns oblivion.
