Selected Orations and Letters of Cicero: To Which is Added the Catiline of Sallust; With Historical Introduction, an Outline of the Roman Constitution, Notes, Vocabulary and Index - Couverture rigide
Présentation de l'éditeur
In this revision the aim has been to preserve the spirit of the original edition, and with the spirit not a little of the matter has survived. The Introduction has been retained almost bodily the Life of Cicero with condensation and additions, the Roman Commonwealth with hardly any modification. Much of the annotation, too, on the four orations and eleven letters which appear in both editions has been retained with little or no change of phraseology; though new material has been added and an occasional statement simplified. The six orations contained in this edition are those most commonly studied andnamed by the American Philological Society s Commission of Fifteen as appropriate for use in preparation for college. The conventional arrangement is retained. The twelve letters range in time from B. C. 65 to 57, and give glimpses of the authors political methods, his relations with prominent contemporaries, his sufferings in exile, and his triumphant return. The introduction of the Catiline of Sallust is an innovation which it is beheved will meet the approval of teachers.
