Excerpt from Xenophon's Expedition of Cyrus, With English Notes: Prepared for the Use of Schools and Colleges, With a Life of the Author The events connected with the two succeeding years of our author's life, which are minutely detailed in the Anabasis, are eminently interesting. In those two years he reaped the proudest honors, - honors which the most victorious generali the world has seen, well might envy. To have entered the ter ritory of a powerful foreign monarch to have subdued him battle after battle; to have pushed a conquering career to the' farthest confines of his empire, were indeed splendid achievements for a youthful king. But the army of Alexander was comparatively a numerous one. The country through which he marched pre sented few obstacles. He conquered as he went. He lefi no enemy in his rear. But he lived not to see again his native land. Subduing all but himself, he died at last, a prey to his own evil passions, ingloriously at Babylon.
