First published at Oxford in 1697-99, this became a popular work that was reprinted many times through the mid-19th century, including a 1702 Latin translation. The material herein was "incorporated, immediately upon its appearance, into the Thesaurus of Gronovius, 'whose warm eulogies,' says Hallam, 'attest its merits'" (DNB). The first volume contains treatises on the civil government of Athens and the religion of Greece; the second includes that on the military affairs of the Greeks and some of their miscellaneous customs, including sections on the Olympic games. Potter was a Fellow at Lincoln College, Oxford, when he wrote this book, and was later Bishop of London and Archbishop of Canterbury.
