Hard pressed for praise,

This review is from: The Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms Amended (Paperback)
I ordered this edition from Hard Press by accident, after looking at the facsimile edition with the yellow cover from Kessinger, which is what comes up when you "search inside". The Hard Press edition transliterates (but does not translate) all the Ancient Greek text included in the original, which is deeply annoying, and in no way helpful to those who couldn't read it in the first place -- since I could, this is a step backward. This edition omits all Newton's marginalia. There is no front or back matter, so the editor is anonymous. The beautiful illustrations of the Temple of Solomon that are so crucial to the original are missing without explanation in the Hard Press edition. Its just not good for scholars, and I am really wondering who its intended audience might be. Certainly, it's not me.

This review is from: The Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms Amended (Paperback)
This book is pretty hard to get through but man does it show you just how much Isaac Newton really knows about history.
