? NOTE.
FOR the extracts from the speeches of Demosthenes
given in this volume I am to a considerable extent
indebted to the scholarly version of the late Mr C. R.
Kennedy. For the famous speech on the Crown, I
have made occasional use of a translation recently
published by an eminent English lawyer, the Right
Hon_ Sir Robert Collier. The same speech was, some
years ago, translated by Mr William Brandt, a scholar
of Oriel College, Oxford, whose premature death cut
short a. life of great promise. His rendering of the
Greek orator is spirited and vigorous, and I wish to
express my obligations to it.

INTRODUCTION.
THE familiar names of Demosthenes _and Cicero will
always be linked together. They are specially repre-
sentative names. The eloquence Of the ancient world
seems to be summed up in them. There is a further
reason why we should think of them together. Both
attached themselves to a falling cause; both had to go
into exile ; both had the satisfaction of being welcomed
back from exile; both, finally, when all was lost, were
willing to die rather than survive their country's dis-
grace. There is, indeed, a striking resemblance between
the lives and fortunes of the two men, and none of
P1utarch's parallels is more appropriate than that in
which he has compared them.
The best and noblest eloquence must be the product
of earnest political conviction. Cicero clung to the
traditions of the old republic, and regarded the concen-
tration of power in one man as equivalent to his
country's degradation and fall. The Greek statesman
