Excerpt from Oration of Demosthenes on the Crown: With Notes1. An attempt has been made to furnish in the notes all necessary historical and archaeological information. The need of such information is very much felt in reading this Oration, since it deals largely in the history, laws, and politics of Athens, and, indeed, of all Greece. Laws are quoted, measures cited, and historical events alluded to, which, though familiar to the audience to which they were addressed, require illustration in order to be understood at the present time. In such a discussion, too, there are me cessarily many technical terms which need' explanation. All needed aid of this kind, it is hoped, will be found in the notes. In furnishing information of this nature, I have derived great assistance, as will be seen by the references.h.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
