Excerpt from Select Orations of Lysias: With Introductions and Explanatory Notes In the preparation of the introductions, among other authorities, I have found of great value Friedrich Blass's Attz'sc/ze Beredrameez't. While rewriting my Introduc tory Sketch Professor R. C. Jebb's two volumes on'the Attic Orators from Anni/2012 to [5620: came to hand, bringing much fresh and stimulating suggestion. I am glad to call the attention of any who may read these pages to that work as one of the most useful contri butions to the history of Greek literature that English scholarship has for many years produced. An interesting monograph on the style of Lysias is Des Caracteres de l'attz'cz'sme dam l'elogzzmce a'e Lysz'as, by Jules Girard, Paris, 1854.
