NOTE.--It has been the aim of the writer, as far as the nature of the subject would permit, to adapt this work to general readers. The references to classic authors are, therefore, in all cases made to accessible English translations (in Bohn's Classical Library); such changes, however, have been made in the rendering as shall present the doctrine of the writers in a clearer and more forcible manner. For valuable services rendered in this department of the work, by Martin L. D'Ooge, Μ. Α., Acting Professor of Greek Language and Literature in the University of Michigan, the author would here express his grateful acknowledgment. CONTENTS. CONTENTS. CHAPTER I.
