PREFACE
Ix order to include in this volume the discourses of
Isocrates which deal more particularly ^^ith the
domestic and the foreign policy ofAthens and with
his own life and work in relation thereto, I have
departed from the conventional order and grouped
together the Peace, the Areopagittcus, Against the
Sophists, the Antidosis and the Panathenaicus. For
convenience, the conventional numbering is given in
brackets.
Miss MaudE. Craig,AssistantProfessorofClassics
in the University of Colorado, who assisted greatly
in the preparation of the first volume, has helped
even more in the preparation of the second. Her
painstaking care in going over the manuscript, in
verifying references, and in reading proof deserves
more than this acknowledgement.
GEORGE NORLIN
