Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Principles of the Founders
We here in the American Athens, as we like to call our dear old town, may read these patriotic words Of the great Athenian statesman not only as a striking illustration of the present power of an appeal to a great past, but as a stirring exposition Of the kind Of life and public spirit which we would desire to inform and inspire Boston to-day as they ennobled the Athens of Pericles.
