repeating Plato's statement (_Laches_, 191), that the Lacedaemonians at
Plataea first fled from the Persians, and then, when the Persians were
broken, turned upon them and won the battle, misapplies to them the term
[Greek: thrasy/deiloi] (Arist., _Eth. Nic._, iii. 9.7)--men, that is,
who affect the hero, but play the poltroon.]

[246] [Diamant or Adamantius Coray (1748-1833), scholar and
phil-Hellenist, declared his views on the future of the Greeks in the
preface to a translation of Beccaria Bonesani's treatise, _Dei Delitti e
delle Pene_ (1764), which was published in Paris in 1802. He began to
publish his _Bibliotheque Hellenique_, in 17 vols., in 1805. He was of
Chian parentage, but was born at Smyrna. [Greek: Korae Au)tobiographia],

small gem: my antiquarian friends have never forgotten it or forgiven
me.

[248] In Gail's pamphlet against Coray, he talks of "throwing the
insolent Hellenist out of the windows." On this a French critic
exclaims, "Ah, my God! throw an Hellenist out of the window! what
sacrilege!" It certainly would be a serious business for those authors
who dwell in the attics: but I have quoted the passage merely to prove
the similarity of style among the controversialists of all polished
countries; London or Edinburgh could hardly parallel this Parisian
ebullition.

France, published, in 1810, a quarto volume entitled, _Reclamations de

juri--propose de decerner un prix a M. Coray, a l'exclusion de la chasse
