To animate a people renowned for justice, hu-manity, and valour, yet, in many instances, degenerate and corrupted; to warn them of the dangers of luxury, treacliery, and bribery; of the ambition and perfidy of a powerful foreign enemy; to recall the glory of their aticestors to tlieir thoughts; and to inspire them Mith resolution, vigour, atul unanimity; to correct abuses, to restore discipline, to revive and enforce the generous sentiments of patriotism and public spirit: These were tb.c great purposes for which the following Orations were originally pronounced.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Public Orations of Demosthenes, Vol. 1 of 2 I have made very little use of other translations; but I must acknowledge a debt to Lord Brougham's version of the Speeches on the Chersonese and on the Crown, which, though often defective from the point of view of scholarship and based on faulty texts, are (together with his notes) very inspiring. I have also, at one time or another, consulted most of the standard German, French, and English editions of Demosthenes. I cannot now distinguish how much I owe to each but I am conscious of a special debt to the editions of the late Professor Henri Weil, and of Sir J. E. Sandys, and (in the Speech on the Crown) to that of Professor W. W. Goodwin. I also owe a few phrases in the earliest speeches to Professor W. R. Hardie, whose lectures on Demosthenes I attended twenty years ago. My special thanks are due to my friend Mr. P. E. Matheson of New College, for his kindness in reading the proof-sheets, and making a number of suggestions, which have been of great assistance to me.

Book Description
This is the sixth volume in the Oratory of Classical Greece. This series presents all of the surviving speeches from the late fifth and fourth centuries BC in new translations prepared by classical scholars who are at the forefront of the discipline. These translations are especially designed for the needs and interests of today's undergraduates, Greekless scholars in other disciplines, and the general public. Classical oratory is an invaluable resource for the study of ancient Greek life and culture. The speeches offer evidence on Greek moral views, social and economic conditions, political and social ideology, law and legal procedure, and other aspects of Athenian culture that have been largely ignored: women and family life, slavery, and religion, to name just a few. Demosthenes is regarded as the greatest orator of classical antiquity; indeed, his very eminence may be responsible for the inclusion under his name of a number of speeches he almost certainly did not write. This volume contains four speeches that are most probably the work of Apollodorus, who is often known as "the Eleventh Attic Orator." Regardless of their authorship, however, this set of ten law court speeches gives a vivid sense of public and private life in fourth-century BC Athens. They tell of the friendships and quarrels of rural neighbors, of young men joined in raucous, intentionally shocking behavior, of families enduring great poverty, and of the intricate involvement of prostitutes in the lives of citizens. They also deal with the outfitting of warships, the grain trade, challenges to citizenship, and restrictions on the civic role of men in debt to the state.

Excerpt from Select Private Orations of Demosthenes, Vol. 1: Containing Contra Phormionem, Lacritum, Pantaenetum, Boeotum De Nomine, Boeotum De Dote, Dionysodorum It may be added, that there can be no better intro duction to the study of English law than the speeches of the Attic orators. These, indeed, cannot be fully appreciated without some general acquaintance with the principles of our own legal practice. And perhaps some at least of those students who have laid a good foundation on a knowledge of the Greek Orators gained at School and College, will not rest satisfied without acquiring some further knowledge of Roman and English jurisprudence, even if legal practice is not their object in life. Of what use, asks Mr Kennedy', can it be to an English gentleman to cram his head with the terms of Attic process, when he is utterly ignorant of that of his own country? It is only by some acquaintance with the latter that he is competent to understand the former. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Olynthiac, and Other Public Orations of Demosthenes: Translated, With Notes, &C MY principle aim in undertaking this work 18 to produce a readable version of Demosthenes, adhering to the original as closely as is consistent with the primary object. Brevity and Simplicity of style, together with the choice of apt and forcible Words, are the most essential elements of a good translation. It is sometimes asked, and there seem to be various opinions on the question, whether a translation should be literal? It depends, I say, upon the object which you pro pose to accomplish. If you are com posing a translation to he used in the Hamiltonian method of teaching, or as a mere help to the idle student against his day of examination, then you must be literal. And to perform such a task is not very difficult. But if you seek to accomplish a higher purpose, it 18 not to be done in this way: a work of another order becomes necessary.
