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.

Mortimer Lamson Earle was born on October 14, 1864 in New York City, New York, United States. He was he son of Mortimer Lent and Josephine (Allen) Earle.
He was educated at the Ashland Public School in East Orange, New Jearsey, and at Columbia College, where he graduated with higfi honors in 1886.
From the beginning of his college studies he showed a marked proficiency in languages and literature, and a scholarly precision that distinguished all his later work.
His principal devotion was to the Greek and Latin tongues, though he gave considerable attention also to French, German, Italian, and Sanskrit.
At graduation he was awarded a fellowship in letters for three years.
The first and third of these were employed in teaching and research at Columbia; the intervening year, 1887-88, was spent at the American School in Athens.
While in Greece, he took part in excavations near Marathon and directed those at Sicyon, on the Gulf of Corinth, where he discovered an interesting theatre containing a statue of Dionysus which now belongs to the Museum at Athens. At the same time his incidental interests led him to an unusual proficiency in several dialects of modern Greek.
Proceeding to the doctorate at Columbia in 1889, Earle was given charge of the instruction in Greek in Barnard College, founded in that year. His sound scholarship at once placed the classical curriculum of the new college on a firm basis.
With the exception of three years as associate professor at Bryn Mawr, from 1895 to 1898, he remained at Barnard continuously; and when the latter institution was united with Columbia in 1899 he succeeded to a professorship of classical philology, dividing his time between undergraduate teaching in Barnard and the direction of graduate students in the university.
In both schools he showed distinguished gifts for teaching and administration as well as for scholarly production.
He was rapidly coming to occupy an almost unique position among American ilassicists, with discoveries of importance already to his credit, with a paleographical and bibliographical knowdedge hardly rivaled in the country, and with an unusual faculty for the interpretation of Roman and Hellenic life and art, when he met an untimely death from a virulent typhoid contracted during a scholarly expedition in Italy.
At the time of his death he was engaged upon a study of Thucydides, which appeared in the American Journal of Philology (October-December, 1905).
