For Hyperides has in every point, ex- cept the structure of his words, imitated all the virtues of Demosthenes, and has abun- dantly added 1 the graces and beauties of Lysias. When his subject demands simpli- city, his style is exquisitely smooth ; nor does he utter every thing with one em pira- tical air of vehemence, like Demosthenes.

"] For the clearer understanding of this passage, we must observe, that there are two sorts of graces ; the one majestic and grave, and proper for the poets, the other simple, and like railleries in comedy. Those of the last sort enter into the composition of the polished style, called by the rhetoricians yXafvpov Xoyov ; and of this kind were the graces of Lysias, who, in the judgment of Dionysius of Halicarnassus, excelled in the polish ed style; and for this reason Cicero calls him venustissimum oratorem.
