Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The First Two Philippic Orations of Demosthenes: With Notes, Critical, Explanatory and Historical
In 1866, when the first edition of this work was going through the press, I asked the Rev. Dr. Mccaul, late President of University College, if he would accept the dedication wof the Volume, as the first Canadian edition of any Greek author, edited by a Canadian. With one of those peculiar actions which his old students remember so well, he replied, I should like to see it first. I sub witted the completed edition to him, and three days afterwards, the dedication standing in both editions was handed to me, written by his own hand.
