A. St. John is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The work explores the cultural practices, social structures, and moral conditions of ancient Greek society, beginning with a focus on its original inhabitants and their influence on European civilization. It aims to provide an in-depth analysis of the factors that shaped Greek character, including education, domestic life, and religious practices. At the start of the volume, the author discusses the original inhabitants of Hellas, suggesting that the Greeks, known as the Hellenes, were preceded by the Pelasgians, whose migrations and settlements across Greece and surrounding regions are traced. The opening establishes the complexity of tracing Greek ancestry and focuses on the societal structures arising from these ancient peoples. St. John emphasizes the significance of climate and geography in shaping the moral character of the Greeks, setting the foundation for a broader investigation into the customs and manners that defined their civilization.
