The Greek Orators Considered as Historical Authorities (1866)

""The Greek Orators Considered As Historical Authorities"" is a book written by Francis Allston Channing and originally published in 1866. The book examines the speeches of ancient Greek orators, including Demosthenes, Aeschines, and Isocrates, and considers how their speeches can be used as historical sources. Channing argues that the speeches of these orators can provide valuable insight into the political, social, and cultural history of ancient Greece, and can be used to supplement other historical sources. The book includes detailed analyses of several speeches, as well as discussions of the context in which they were delivered and the political and social issues they addressed. Overall, ""The Greek Orators Considered As Historical Authorities"" is a scholarly work that provides a unique perspective on ancient Greek history and the role of oratory in shaping it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
