About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1853 edition. Excerpt: ... to Alexander the Great, Book ii. yet they allow that his father laboured as a poor peasant C"'8' in the neighbourhood of Adrianople, until Basil himself, despising the cultivation of the paternal farm, sought to improve his fortune by wandering to the capital. We are told by other authorities that Basil was a Sclavouian, and we know that the whole of Thrace and Macedonia was at this period cultivated by Sclavonian colonists. His father's family had been carried away captive into Bulgaria when Basil was almost an infant, at the time Crumn took Adrianople, A.d. 813. During the reign of Theophilus, some of the Byzantine captives succeeded in taking up arms and marching off into the empire. Basil, who was among the number, after serving the governor of Macedonia for a time, resolved to seek his fortune in Constantinople.1 He departed, carrying all his worldly wealth in a wallet on his shoulders, and reached the capital on a summer's evening without knowing where to seek a night's rest. Fatigued with his journey, he sat down in the portico of the church of St Diomed, near the Adrianople gate, and slept there all night. In a short time he found employment as a groom in the service of a courtier named Theophilitzes, where his talent of taming unruly horses, his large head, tall figure, and great strength, rendered him remarkable; while his activity, zeal, and intelligence secured him particular notice from his master, and rapid promotion in his household.2 1 The Armenian historians claim Basil as a countryman, but it seems they only echo the genealogy invented at Constantinople to flatter the emperor.--Chamich, Hittory of Armenia, ii. 8. Lebeau, xiii. 180, 4, and 479. Gibbon, ix. 48. Hauisa of Ispahan says he was of Sclavonian race.--Reiske, ...
