The Public Orations of Demosthenes V1 is a collection of speeches by the ancient Greek statesman and orator, Demosthenes. This book includes the first volume of his speeches, which were delivered in public forums and assemblies in Athens during the 4th century BCE. The speeches cover a range of topics, including politics, law, and diplomacy, and are considered some of the most influential and masterful speeches in the history of oratory. Demosthenes' speeches are known for their persuasive and powerful rhetoric, and they provide valuable insight into the political and social climate of ancient Athens. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in classical history, political philosophy, or the art of public speaking.Now although I know perfectly well, men of Athens, that to speak to you about one's own earlier speeches, and about oneself, is a practice which is always extremely repaying, I feel the vulgarity and offensiveness of it so strongly, that I shrink from it even when I see that it is necessary. I think, however, that you will form a better judgement on the subject on which I am about to speak, if I remind you of some few of the things which I have said on certain previous occasions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
