ono reviewer has adverted to the fact
that IN Volume H.. Blaine and Bossuet
are brought 30 close together that the
Grafton of the former on the death Of
Garfield can be Compared with that of
the latter "over the Prince OF Conde."
Yet, In Volume l., the eighth OF The
World's Best orators" Is Aeschines, 2S9-
Sli' u. c., who so bitterly opposed
kiesiphon's motion that the people OF

In order to facilitate tho use Of the
work, Volume X. will have several care

are largely true.
