Grote on Socrates: an unpublished essay of the 1820s in its context. [From: DIAL
From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Name of the author handwritten on cover, otherwise very good and clean. - From the text: George Grote, the distinguished historian of ancient Greece, was born in Kent and attended Charterhouse until 1810, when he was removed by his father and taken into their family business, the bank known as Prescott and Grote. At Charterhouse Grote received a good, though dry, classical education. It is noteworthy that Connop Thirlwall, himself an erudite historian of classical antiquity, and Henry George Liddell (the Greek lexicographer) had been among Grotes schoolfellows. Outside a university environment, Grote retained his self-discipline and pursued his historical and literary research with outstanding dedication.
