Transcriber's note

• The book cover image was created by the transcriber and is placed in the public domain.
• Footnotes have been renumbered and moved to the end of the book.
• Blank pages have been skipped.
• Obvious printer errors have been silently corrected, after comparison with a later edition of this work. Greek text has also been corrected after checking with this later edition and with Perseus, when the reference was found.
• Original spelling, hyphenation and punctuation have been kept, but variant spellings were made consistent when a predominant usage was found.
• Nevetherless, no attempt has been made at normalizing proper names (i.e. Ægæan and Ægean, Æschines and Æschinês, Alkibiades and Alkibiadês, Andokides and Andokidês, Aristeides and Aristeidês, Boedromion and Boëdromion, Chalkiœkos and Chalkiœkus, Deinomenes and Deinomenês, Deïphonus and Dêiphonus, Demosthenes and Demosthenês, Inaros and Inarôs, Isokrates and Isokratês, Kephallenia and Kephallênia, Miltiades and Miltiadês, Mykenæ and Mykênæ, Pegæ and Pêgæ, Sestus and Sestos, Thucydides and Thucydidês, Xenophon and Xenophôn, etc.). The author established at the beginning of the first volume of this work some rules of transcription for proper names, but neither he nor his publisher follow them consistently.
