Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Fourth Oration of Isocrates, Called the Panegyric: As Being Addressed to the Universal Assembly of All Greece, Exhorting the Grecians to Concord, and Undertaking Jointly a War Against the Persians
For, were combatants possessed of twice their strength, no advantage would accrue from it to others; but it' a man pos sess a noble mind, all who are willing to seek his company would be benefited by the results of his study. Yet, I was not discouraged because of this neglect, nor did I yield to idle ness; but, judging that the glory which would accrue from the composition of this oration would be sufficient return for my labor, I came to give my advice about engaging in a war against the Barbarians, and forming an alliance among our selves.
