The Speech of Demosthenes Against the Law of Leptines is a historical text written by the ancient Greek orator, Demosthenes. The speech was delivered in Athens in 355 BCE and is considered one of the most important legal speeches of the time. In the speech, Demosthenes argues against a proposed law that would have granted immunity to certain public officials who had accepted bribes. He argues that such a law would be unjust and would undermine the democratic principles of Athens. Demosthenes also uses the speech to criticize his political opponent, Leptines, who had proposed the law. The text provides valuable insight into the political and legal system of ancient Athens and is an important historical document for scholars and students of ancient Greek history and rhetoric. This edition of the speech was translated into English by Charles Rann Kennedy and was published in 1890.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
