"Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, Volume 62, No. 382, August 1847" by Various is a historical magazine published during the mid-19th century. It offers a collection of essays, reviews, and articles addressing a wide array of topics including history, literature, and philosophical reflections. This volume features notable contributions like a detailed critique of Grote's "History of Greece," perspectives on famous geographical sites such as Ben Nevis, and explorations of legends and their historical significance. The opening of this edition presents a thoughtful analysis of Grote's interpretation of Greek history, particularly his approach to differentiating between historical fact and legend. It discusses the evolution of historical studies, referencing earlier historians who struggled to convey the complexities of Greek history due to a heavy reliance on legend. Additionally, it introduces the article about climbing Ben Nevis, illuminating the experience of mountaineering in the Scottish Highlands while playfully critiquing the modern belief that such ascents require a guide. Overall, the beginning establishes the magazine's intellectual tone, blending history and exploration with engaging commentary. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
