Excerpt from The Geography of Strabo, Vol. 1 of 8: With an English Translation
Professor john robert sitlington sterrett, the eminent scholar who was originally chosen by the Editors of the Loeb Classical Library to prepare this edition Of Strabo, died suddenly on June 15, 1914. His many friends and colleagues in the world of scholarship were greatly disappointed that he was thus prevented from bringing to a happy completion a task which would have been a fitting consummation of a long and notable career. In accordance with a desire he expressed to me shortly before his death, and at the invitation of the Editors, I have ventured, not without misgivings, to carry on the work from the point where his labours ceased.
