Abstract
- The article presents information on the book "Demosthenes: With Extracts From his Orations, etc.," by L. Brédif. So much honest, hard work has been put into this book by both author and translator that one cannot help sincerely regretting that the product is not more worthy of commendation. It abounds in illustrations and parallels, mostly from Roman and French history and literature, and in quotations from orators contemporary with Demosthenes. But, after all, the book will be of little use to any one desiring to get a clear and true idea of the man and his policy.
