The Greek Orators Considered as Historical Authorities (1866)

The Greek Orators Considered As Historical Authorities is a book written by Francis Allston Channing in 1866. The book is an exploration of the historical value of the speeches and writings of ancient Greek orators, such as Demosthenes, Isocrates, and Lysias. Channing argues that these orators can be considered as reliable historical sources, as their speeches provide insights into the political and social issues of their time. He also examines the rhetorical techniques used by these orators and how they influenced the development of Greek literature and philosophy. The book is a valuable resource for scholars and students of ancient Greek history and literature, as well as anyone interested in the art of oratory and its role in shaping history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
