Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Old Pictures of Life, Vol. 2 of 2
About three hundred years before our era, Greek statesmen began to complain that their army was composed of hired soldiers; that patriotism was a languid sen timent; that statesmen and generals could be bribed. The orator who made these charges delivered the last great speech ever made in Athens and in the Greek tongue - the speech of Demosthenes for a crown.
