Excerpt from Demosthenis Midias: With English Notes for the Use of Schools
I should mention, in justice to myself, that I do not intend all the passages marked with inverted commas, to be regarded as literal translations: they are, in many instances, only paraphrases, to convey the general meaning of the author, without including all the minor words and embellishments of the construction. My wish has been to supply a beginner with sufficient help to save him from recourse to an English Version, and yet to leave him sufficient difficulty for the requisite mental exercise which leads to real improvement.
