Excerpt from Clement of AlexandriaThe Lectures on which the present volume is based were delivered in 1899-1900, and their publication is long over due. The delay has been caused by impaired health, which compelled me for many years to confine myself to the work of my Chair. I have to thank the Croall Trustees for their courtesy and forbearance.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
