As soon as he his seen Greece enslaved by Philip, the father of Alexan der, 1 e returns into Scythia, where he puts in order an ac • count of his travels; and t© prevent any interruption in his narrative, relates in an introduction the memorable events which had palled in Greece before he left Scythia." , " I have chosen to write a.narrative of Travels ra ther than a hiftbry, becatife in such a narrative all is fce nepy and adlion; and because circumstantial details may be enteied into which are uot permitted to the hiftonaa."
