Abstract

He is writing again because Poulson had told him his former letter had been somehow lost. He has received G's Roman chronology. He himself has laid the ground work in the appendix to his Camden lectures which contains many illuminating additions. He has worked out the chronology of the ages of Varro, Cato, Polybius etc and pointed out discrepancies between the authorities. He has compared with the Olympiads the various dates assigned to the same consuls, and studied Livy's chronology, sought to establish the sequence of epochs. The work is now being set up in book form and proving unexpectedly bulky. His Xenophon's Annals together with Xenophon Hellenica by Dean Aldrich of Christ Church will appear shortly. He intends later a second edition embracing Thucydides Annals. He offers G help, if G needs any help from him for his work.
