Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Value of Byzantine and Modern Greek in Hellenic Studies: An Inaugural Lecture Delivered Before the University Thursday, October 29, 1908
To begin with, I must justify myself for venturing to undertake in this illustrious University the task of teach ing in a scientific field, cultivated now in all Europe by so many specialists and extending over a period of two thousand years. But the consciousness that by speak ing on these subjects I shall deal with familiar things, that by occupying myself in these studies I shall be transferred mentally to my fatherland, encourages me to believe that my teaching, whatever else it may lack, is at least based on a cordial interest.
