Excerpt from The General History of Polybius, Vol. 1

Or who on the other hand is so passionately fond of any other kind of speculation, or of any branch of science, as to think it more worthy of his care and pains, than this enquiry?

That the subject of this work deserves more than a common share of attention and regard, on account both of its novelty and greatness, will most evidently appear, if we take a view of all the ancient states that are chiefly celebrated in history, and compare them with the Roman.

The Persians were for some time possessed of a very wide dominion: but whenever they laboured to extend it beyond the bounds of Asia, the attempt was always unsuccessful, and once indeed proved almost fatal to them. The Lacedaemonians, after many struggles, obtained the sovereignty of Greece: but, within twelve years, were again divested of it The Macedonian kingdom was at first extended from the provinces that border on the Adriatic coast, as far as the Danube; the whole including but a small and inconsiderable part of Europe. After some time, indeed, they found means to break the Persian monarchy, and joined Asia to their empire. But though the general opinion of mankind may perhaps have taught us always to regard this people of a very flourishing and potent stale, it cannot be denied, that a great part of the world was totally exempted from their sway. Afric, Sicily, and Sardinia, were never visited by their arms. And those fierce and warlike nations, who possessed the western parts of Europe, were utterly unknown and undiscovered by them.
