Excerpt from What Have the Greeks Done for Modern Civilisation?: The Lowell Lectures of 1908-09 If this little book may help toward this great reformation, it will have amply succeeded in its purpose. I must not send it out without thanking my many American friends for their sympathy and encouragement. During my visit, everybody seemed ready to hear what I had to say, and in some of the discussions which were the result, notably at Philadelphia, there seemed to be quite a body of Opinion in my favour.
