He flattered him self. That they had begun to familiarize themselves with subjection: and indeed this was the disposition of the Greeks at that time; in whom appeared no longer the descendants of those who had so gallantly sustained all the efibrts of the East, and fought against a million of men for the preservation of their freedom.
