The Anabasis of Alexander : $b or, The history of the wars and conquests of Alexander the Great
Arrian's eyewitness account of Alexander the Great's military campaigns reads like an ancient war correspondent's dispatch, grounding the legendary conqueror in tactical decisions, logistics, and the human cost of empire. This is history that refuses mythologizing, showing the gap between legend and the muddy, desperate reality of conquest.
Arrian on coursing : $b the Cynegeticus of the younger Xenophon, translated from the Greek, with classical and practical annotations, and a brief sketch of the life and writings of the author. To which is added an appendix, containing some account of the Canes Venatici of classical antiquity
An early 19th-century annotated English translation of the ancient Cynegeticus on hare-coursing with greyhounds. It gives practical advice on breeding, training and kennel management, adds scholarly commentary and an appendix on ancient hunting dogs, and defends the sport.
