1908266The Riverside Press Cambridge<br />The plan of this book is not only to present a simple outline of the chief events in the history of ancient Greece but also to picture the customs of the people their manner of living and thinking and feeling. So far as the size and scope of the little volume will permit the names of those who were masters in art and literature are introduced not in separate chapters as mere adjuncts to political history but in their natural connection with the annals of their times and ever in accordance with Plutarch's dictum ' Often an action of small note a short saying or a jest shall distinguish a person's real character more than the greatest sieges or the most important battles." In treating of the wars of Greece I have followed their course as briefly as possible and have given the space often allotted to details of battles to characteristic stories of some of the famous leaders or a description of some one military operation that illustrates the difference between ancient and modern ways of conducting such affairs. In short I have used the wars to illustrate the people and not the people to display the minutiae of the wars<br /> Houghton Mifflin Co. hardcover

1928162503New York: Covici Friede 1928. Signed limited edition number 91 of 275 copies signed by the author illustrated by Alexander King and bound in quarter cloth. March's story of an African-American prize fighter perhaps inspired by the real-life example of Jack Johnson is an acute portrayal of race relations during the Roaring Twenties. A trade edition was also published in 1928. The 1949 film noir adaptation directed by Robert Wise and starring Robert Ryan and Audrey Totter controversially changed the protagonist to a white man and moved away from the poem's tragic ending. "The sense of bleak poetry however. remains intact" Field. Octavo. Frontispiece and 3 plates all by Alexander King. Original decorative boards brown cloth backstrip spine label lettered in red yellow endpapers edges untrimmed. A little staining on spine boards bright plates fresh a few gatherings unopened closed tears to title page and next leaf losses at head of p. 156 just touching text and final blank: a very good copy.
