About this Item

"This was for many years a popular edition; and was reprinted in 1715 if not oftener: but the first is the preferable edition, and is considered very correct. The explanation of the more difficult Greek words at the end, was among the principal causes of its popularity" (Dibdin I, 487). Octavo. . [16], 151, [1], 182, [2], [18, index] pp. With three engraved portraits, of the two orators and of Cicero, by M. Burg; these are included in the pagination. The Latin translation is printed at the bottom of each page. Contemporary calf. Gilt spine with red morocco label. Joints, corners a bit rubbed, a little light foxing. A very good copy. First edition of the two antagonistic orations of ®schines and Demosthenes as edited, with a Latin translation, by the young Oxford students Peter Foulkes and John Friend, who were both about twenty when this volume was printed.
