The name of this new-comer was Anaxagoras. It was said in after-time, we know not with what degree of truth, that he had been a pupil of Anaximenes. If so, he was a pupil who departed far from the teachings of his master.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
