(Excerpt from Lucian: Selected Writings Repeated experien...)
Excerpt from Lucian: Selected Writings Repeated experience has convinced the editor that Lucian has a place in the college curriculum. The Introduction states (p. Xxix) some of the reasons for this claim, and is also intended to call atten tion to the continuity of Lucian's influence, especially from the time of the Reformation. The Conspectus of Lucian's Greek (pp. Xxxiv xlii) gives in compact form some of his peculiarities and man nerisms. It is intended as a caution to the student against certain divergences from the Attic, and, with the account of the Common Dialect, may at the same time lay emphasis on the continuity of the Greek language from Homer to the present day. The brief special Introductions to each selection are intended to secure a sympathetic reading of the individual pieces rather than to serve as summaries of their contents.

Francis Greenleaf Allinson was born on December 16, 1856 in Burlington, New Jersey, United States, the second son of William J. Allinson and Rebecca W. Hinchman.
Allinson was educated at Haverford where he received his Bachelor of Arts gedree in 1876, and Master of Arts degree in 1879; at Harvard where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1877; and Johns Hopkins University where he received his Ph. D. in 1880.
After two years (1880-1882) as assistant professor of Greek and Latin at Haverford College Allison went to the University School in Baltimore as head-master in classics. In 1892 he joined the faculty of Williams College as assistant professor of Greek and Latin but left in 1895 to accept a call to Brown University. Here he was successively associate professor of Greek and classical philology (1895-1898), David Benedict Professor of Greek Literature and History (1898-1927), and professor emeritus (1927-1931). In 1910-1911 he had been the annual professor of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens and in 1917 the Sather Classical Lecturer at the University of California.
For over three decades the Allinson home in Providence was the meeting place of professors and students, journalists, writers and artists, ministers, bankers, and simple people. In a large and beautiful room, lined with books and decorated by pictures of classic lands, with easy chairs drawn up before the fire, Allinson discussed many topics with a varied company, modestly, kindly, and brilliantly. Here, too, in the evening he occasionally met his classes, and the students came to see that this punctilious and courteous gentleman, who scorned pretentiousness and sham, was stimulating them to form definite opinions and to appreciate the things of the intellect and of the spirit for which he stood. Some occasionally mistook his love of excellence for haughtiness, though there was an undoubted querulousness in his nature which the growth of the "newer studies" at the expense of the classics accentuated.
In 1928 Allinson retired from active teaching. Three years later he died at Hancock Point, Maine, and was buried at Ellsworth.

Allison was a president of the American Philological Association from 1921 to 1922.
President Faunce of Brown University once said that Allinson was endowed with an intellectual delicacy unsurpassed by any Greek scholar in America, and Allinson had been wise enough to study and publish those authors best suited to his temperament.
On September 10, 1885, Allison married Mary Irwin Carey, a member of a substantial and cultivated Quaker family in Baltimore. Their only child, Susanne, married Henry Crosby Emery and, after his death, Dr. Frederick R. Wulsin, the anthropologist and explorer.
On August 22, 1905, some years after the death of his first wife, Allinson married Anne Crosby Emery of Ellsworth, Maine. Together, these two congenial spirits wrote a charming volume on their beloved Greece, Greek Lands and Letters, which went through several editions between 1909 and 1931.
