"The fame of Mr Paley as one cf the 

 best practical Grecians of this age would 

 alone be sufficient to secure attention for this 

 book among the Head Masters of our Public 

 Schools and the Tutors of our Colleges .... 

 It contains, in the small compass of 240 pages, 

 six of the speeches of the great Athenian 

 orator, which are less commonly read than 

 his 'Philippics' and the ' De Corona,' be- 

 cause they rank among his ' private orations.' 

 And yet, equally with the greater speeches 

 of the same orator, they will be found to 

 illustrate not only the details of finance, 

 loans, interest, banking, and other mercantile 

 transactions in Greece in the time of Philip, 

 but also the laws and general polity of that 

 Athenian State, which was the model of the 



ancient world We gather from the 



Preface that the task of illustrating these 

 speeches from external sources, such as 

 Boeckh's work on ' The Public Economy 

 of Athens' and from Other German books. 



has fallen upon Mr Sandys. We may 

 add that the introductions prefixed to the 

 Speeches, and also the English foot-notes, 

 leave very little to be desired by the student 

 in the interpretation of the author's mean- 

 ing. " — Times . 



" Mr Paley's scholarship is sound and 

 accurate, his experience of editing wide, and 

 if he is content to devote his learning and 

 abilities to the production of such manuals 

 as these, they will be received with gratitude 

 throughout the higher schools of the country. 

 Mr Sandys is deeply read in the German 

 literature which bears upon his author, and 

 the elucidation of matters of daily life, in the 

 delineation of which Demosthenes is so rich, 



obtains full justice at his hands We 



hope that this edition may lead the way 

 to a more general study of these speeches 

 in schools than has hitherto been possible. 

 .... The index is extremely complete, and 

 of great service tC learners." — Acadctny. 



Part II. containing Pro Phormione, Contra Stephanum I. 

 Nicostratum, Cononem, Calliclem. yj-. (:,d. 



II. 



" The six selected Orations, aided by 

 introductions and notes which supply all 

 that is needed for understanding the original 

 text, will place clearly before the student 

 some tolerably complete pictures of life and 

 lawsuits at Athens in the fourth century B.C. 

 For those who are preparing for the Cam- 

 bridge Tripos, the assistance which this 

 volume can give will be found of the utmost 

 value." — Tillies. 



" the edition reflects credit on 



Cam.bridge scholarship, and ought to be ex- 

 tensively used." — A thcnceian. 



"In this volume we have six of Demo- 

 sthenes' private speeches, well selected and 

 very carefully edited. The notes are very 

 full and minute, and the introductions to the 

 speeches will reward careful study." — Spec- 

 tator. 



" To give even a brief sketch of these 

 speeches [Pro Phormione and Contra Ste- 

 pJuinuiii\ would be rncompa'tible with oQr 



limits, though we can hardly conceive a task 

 more useful to the classical or professional 

 scholar than to make one for himself. .... 

 It is a great boon to those who set them- 

 selves to unravel the thread of arguments 

 pro and con to have the aid of Mr Sandys's 

 excellent running commentary .... and no 

 one can say that he is ever deficient 

 in the needful help which enables us to 

 form a sound estimate of the rights of the 



case [The speeches against Conon 



and Callicles] seem to us eminently to de- 

 serve introduction into higheV school read- 

 ing; if read with the notes and comments 

 of the edition before us, they would give 

 the tiro no vague idea of life as it was in 



Demosthenic Athens and Attica 



It is long since we have come upon a work 

 evincing more pains, scholarship, arrd varied 

 research and illustration than Mr Sandys's 

 contribution to the ' Private Orations of 

 Demosthenes'." — Saticrday Review.
