Excerpt from The Philippics of Demosthenes: With Introductions and Notes, For the Use of Colleges This edition of the Philippics was intended to be the sequel and companion of the Olynthiacs, already published, and to be bound with that or in a separate volume, at the option of those who use it. Little, therefore, need now be added by way of pretace. With comparatively few exceptions, sufficiently explained in the notes, it follows the same text, namely, that of Bekker in Tauchnitz's stereotyped edition, and the introductions and notes have been prepared for the same purpose, on the same general plan, and with substantially the same German and English editions before me for reference and comparison. The American edition of Dr. J. M. Smead has also been frequently consulted, and has never failed to impress me with a high respect for the faithful labors and the thorough scholarship of the editor. I take pleasure also in acknowledging my obligations, in common with all the teachers and students of Greek in our American colleges, to Dr. Champlin as the pioneer American editor of so many of the orations of Demosthenes.
