Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. It is surprising that Antipater should attempt to give battle to the united forces of all Greece with such a handful of men; but he undoubted] imagined, that the Greeks were no longer actuated hy their ancient zeal and ardour for liberty, and that they ceased to consider it as such an inestimable advantage, as ought to inspire them with a resolution to venture their lives and fortunes for its preservation. He flattered him self. That they had begun to familiarize themselves with subjection: and indeed this was the disposition of the Greeks at that time; in whom appeared no longer the descendants of those who had so gallantly sustained all the efibrts of the East, and fought against a million of men for the preservation of their freedom.
