The History of the Life and Reign of Alexander the Great Volume I

By: Quintus Curtius Rufus

Taken from the Volume I Preface: The life of Alexander, as transmitted by ancient writers-while the subject, and fulness, of detail, in each, differ as much as biography, annals, and history-is, in all, an extraordinary field of incident. Quintus Curtius, while exhibiting the progress of a mighty transition of power, has mixed, with the minutes of the council, and the journal of the camp, sketches of biography which lead to a knowledge of man.
