Excerpt from Aeschines in Ctesiphonta: Edited With Notes and Indices
About ten years ago Mr Gwatkin undertook to edit this Oration. The stereotyped text had been revised and settled by him notes on about the first 160 sections had been set up in. Type, and were waiting for final correction, when Mr Gwatkin un fortunately found that the pressure of other engage ments made it hopeless for him to finish the work. The publishers some time last year therefore asked me to undertake the completion of the edition, as having recently been engaged on a revision of the speech of Demosthenes which was made in answer to it. I have now done what I could in compliance with this wish. The notes in type have been finally revised by me alone for the press; and therefore if there are any errors in them the blame must be mine, while Mr Gwatkin should be credited with the great learning and industry implied in their com position.
