Jjg distinguished in the annals of history. Without their light, how imperfect would be our information with regard to the mighty empire founded by Cyrus and overturned by Alexander! and how little would we know of those great events which exalted the Grecian name to the pinnacle of renown, and placed the ...names of a host of heroes and patriots upon the records of im- perishable glory. The first Grecian historian, of whom we have any account, is Cadmus of Miletus, surnamed the ancient. He lived about 550 years before the birth of Christ, and wrote an historical account of the cities of Ionia, in four books. After him was another historian of the same name and place, who was the author of a history of Attica, in sixteen books. None of their works are ex- tant. Between this period and the time of Herodotus, are enu- merated several other historians, who enjoyed considerable re- putation in their day, but whose works are now lost.
