An edition with an English commentary of the two important Isocratean discourses contained in this volume scarcely needs an apology. No commentary in English on the De Pace and the P/zz'lzppus exists, and those in other languages deal not so much with the historical content as with the language and style of the speeches. Moreover, during the last thirty years or so there has been a strong reaction against the patronising, and sometimes even contemptuous, attitude towards Isocrates's political thought shown by nineteenth century historians and critics. If this edition arouses fresh interest in two splendid examples of ancient eloquence, if it helps to show that Isocrates, so far from being a mere Stubengelehrter, had a very real grasp of the political situation in Greece during the fourth century and proposed a remedy for existing evils which was by no means impracticable, and, thirdly, if it succeeds in proving that as historical material the Isocratean writings are not as unreliable as has sometimes been maintained, it will have fulfilled its purpose. My sincere thanks are due to the Heckscher Foundation for the Advancement of Research for bearing the expense of publishing this book, and to the Department of Classics in this University for courteously including it in the series of Cornell Studies in Classical Pfiz'lology. It is a pleasure, too, to thank Professors H. L. Jones and I. F. Mountford for a number of helpful suggestions and criticisms. Professor Mountford also generously assisted in the weary task of proof-reading.

Store description
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
