Description
1899. With English notes, critical and explanatory, and historical, geographical, and legal indexes. The present edition of Cicero contains the four orations against Catiline, together with those for Archias, Marcellus, the Manilian Law, and Murena. In making this selection, the editor has been guided by the statues of Columbia College, which require all the orations that have just been enumerated, with the exception of the last two, to be read by candidates for admission in the Freshman Class...The commentary, it will be perceived, is far from being a scanty one. If there be any author that stands in need of full and copious illustration, it undoubtedly is Cicero in the orations which have come down to us. The train of thought must be continually laid open to the young scholar, to enable him to appreciate, in their full force and beauty, these brilliant memorials of other days; and the allusions in which the orator is so fond of indulging must be carefully and fully explained. Unless this be done the speeches of Cicero become a dead letter, and time is only wasted in their perusal.
