Excerpt from The Eastern Libyans: An EssayThe present volume needs but few words by way of preface. The materials here presented were first collected as part of the evidence relating to the history of Cyrenaica, to the study of which I have devoted already a number of years, and to which I hope to give more. As my Libyan notes grew in volume, and suggested the various questions which are discussed in the following pages, it became clear that in mere mass alone they would be a feature disproportionately large if introduced without abridgment into the work I hope ultimately to publish. Such an abridgment would, unless the way were first prepared by a series of articles in the journals, necessitate my making in many parts of my treatment of Cyrenaic history a number of statements which, without explanation, would appear dogmatic. That I have chosen to set forth the Libyan material in. The present form instead of in the journals, is due to a conviction that the subject is of such importance as to warrant its treatment in book form, to a desire to have the evidence easily accessible to others, and to a wish to provide, as far as I may, a scientific basis for further study of the Libyans east of Africa Minor.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
