Bulwer is much puzzled how to explain away, these awkward facts ; but .as .the banishment' of these illustrious citizens, and the death of this illustrious sage, from the effects of popu>> lar jealousy, cannot be denied, be boldly en- deavours to. justify these atrocious acta' of the Athenian democracy. In. regard to Miltiades he observes :— - ** The case was siinply t|iis,— nMiltiad^s wa^ accused—whether justly or unjustly no matter — it was clearly as impossible not to receive the accusation,... and to try the cause, as'if would be for an English court of justice to refuse to admit a criminal action^gainst Lord Grey or the Duke of WelHhglon. Was Mil- tiades guilty or notl This we cannot tell.
We know that he was tried according . to the law, and that the Athenians thought him guilty^ for they condemned him. So fax ibis is not ingratitude— it is the course of law. A man is tried and found guilty*— if past . services and renown were to save the great from pun- ishment when convicted of ^ state offence, society would, perhaps, be disorganized, and certainly a free state would Cease t^ exist.
