Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Orations of Demosthenes, Vol. 2 of 2: Pronounced to Excite the Athenians Against Philip, King of Macedon
The oppressions and severe exactions, of which their allies and dependent states had Iately found particular occasion to complain, and to which the necessity of their affairs had' contributed, as well as the avarice of their com manders, naturally determined them to reflect on the necessity of making some effectual pro vision for the payment of their armies: and this as naturally determined the honest and faithful counsellors to resume the consideration of that old, scandalous abuse, the Theatrical distributions. Of these the reader hath been sufficiently in formed in the Notes and Introductions of the Olynthiac orations.
