The Secret of Plato's Atlantis (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Secret of Plato's AtlantisThe following pages were written for the Month, but in the course of writing extended themselves beyond the limits of a magazine article; the third chapter more particularly becoming too elaborate in form for suitable publication in a periodical. I have, therefore, preferred to publish them separately. As, however, it would have involved too much trouble to have rewritten and recast the articles, I have printed them in their original form, as addressed to the readers of the Month.The subject, at least, is a curious and interesting one and Mr. Donnelly's work, which was the occasion of the articles being written, contains much curious specula tion, and is written in a style calculated to give zest to the inquiry. It has had a wide circulation.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
