This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

He was born at Kirchscheidungen (now a part of Laucha an der Unstrut, Saxony-Anhalt).
In 1809 he became professor at the gymnasium at Munich, and in 1826 professor of ancient literature at the University of Landshut. He was transferred in that year to Munich where he remained till his death. Thiersch, the "tutor of Bavaria" (praeceptor Bavariae), found an extremely unsatisfactory system of education in existence.
His plans were nevertheless carried out, and became the governing principle of the educational institutions of Bavaria.
Thiersch was an ardent supporter of Greek independence. In 1832 he visited Greece, and his influence is said to have helped secure the throne of the newly created kingdom for Otto of Greece.
He wrote a Greek grammar, a metrical translation of Pindar, and an account of Greece (L"état actuel de la Grece in 1833). Another son, Karl Thiersch, was a renowned surgeon, and yet another, Ludwig Thiersch, was an influential painter.
Thiersch died in Munich.
He is buried in the Alter Südfriedhof in Munich.
He is best remembered as a man who transformed German system of education.
