PART I. containing Contra Phormionem, Lacritum, Pantaenetum, Boeotum de Nomine, Boeotum de Dote, Dionysodorum. With Introductions and English Notes, by F. A. PALEY, M.A., Editor of Aeschylus, etc., and Supplementary Notes by J. E. SANDYS, M.A. Fellow and Tutor of St John's College, Cambridge. Crown Octavo, cloth. 6s. "The fame of Mr Paley as one of 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 Coronâ,' because 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 pre fixed 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 meaning.” The Times, October 17, 1874. "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 to learners." The Academy, Feb. 20, 1875. "As might be expected, these speeches abound in difficulties. There are the technical phrases of Athenian law, and there is the difficulty arising out of the circumstance that we have only one side of the case. This naturally makes some of the speeches obscure. It is a good test, both of a man's scholarship and also of his acuteness, to put before him a passage taken from any one of them. Every Cambridge man who aspires to classical honours takes care to make their partial acquaintance. A really good scholar who had omitted to do this, would come to as much grief when confronted with such a passage, as he would were he to be plunged into an ode of Pindar which he had never seen. If he thinks of the classical tripos, he will be sure to be told that he must master at least a few of these Private Speeches........ For the [Turn over. |
