Men of
Athens, the charges that Philip
brings against the speakers who here uphold your claims shall never deter us
from offering our advice on what concerns your interests; for it would be
monstrous if the freedom of utterance which is the privilege of this platform
should be stifled by dispatches from him. But for myself, men of Athens, I wish first to touch upon the
different points of his letter, and then to add my comments on the speeches of
his ambassadors.
