Excerpt from Select Private Orations of Demosthenes, Vol. 1: Containing Contra Phormionem Lacritum, Pantaenetum, Boeotum De Nomine, Boeotum De Dote, Dionysodorum

WE have endeavoured in this edition to promote and facilitate the study of a most important and most interesting part of the writings of Demosthenes, the Private Oratz'o'ns. To this end we have selected twelve, which either fromothe nature of the subjects or from the manner of treatment or for both reasons appeared to afford the best and the most copious illustrations of the laws and general polity of Athens. It is remarkable that (with the exception of a small volume, long ago out of print, published by the late Mr Penrose) no such work as the present exists, even in Germany 1.
