This is the third volume in the Oratory of Classical Greece series. Published over several years, the series presents all of the surviving speeches from the late fifth and fourth centuries B.C. in new translations prepared by classical scholars who are at the forefront of the discipline. These translations are especially designed for the needs and interests of today's undergraduates, Greekless scholars in other disciplines, and the general public.

Review of Carey's 'Aeschines'

This volume presents a great paradigm of what I feel modern translations should look like. The book begins with a great historical introduction to Greek oratory, and this is followed by an introduction to the life of Aeschines. Each of the speeches opens with plenty of information on the context and construction of the argument. Furthermore, the speech is heavily annotated with footnotes, which often occupy over half the page. These annotations provide linguistic, historical and ethical context. It's really hard to find fault with such an excellent presentation of classical oratory. I hope the whole series is equally well-done.
