The Life and Letters of Marcus Tullius Cicero (Classic Reprint) by Marcus Tullius Cicero Pdf
Excerpt from The Life and Letters of Marcus Tullius Cicero In drawing the characters of a number of persons who all lived in the same city at the same time, trained by the same discipline, and engaged in the same pursuits; as there must be many similar strokes, and a general resemblance in them all, so the chief difficulty will be to prevent them from running into too great an uniformity. This I have endeavoured to do, not by forming ideal pictures, or such as would please or surprise; but by attending to the particular facts which history has delivered of the men, and tracing them to their source, or to those correspondent affections from which they derived their birth; for these are the distinguishing features of the several persons, which, when duly represented, and placed in their proper light, will not fail to exhibit that precise difference in which the peculiarity of each character consists.

The Life and Letters of Marcus Tullius Cicero by G. E. Jeans Pdf
Excerpt from The Life and Letters of Marcus Tullius Cicero: Being a New Translation of the Letters Included in Mr. Watson's Selection; With Historical and Critical Notes And to almost any reasoning and reasonable narrative of Cicero's life I should attach the highest value, irrespective of the conclusions it led to. There is no other classical work to be compared to his Letters for teaching that the Romans were real living men and women, and not mere paper characters, or school masters' puppets. The time in which he lived, too, was to us almost the central time of the world's history; and there were giants on the earth in those days. Moreover, the often noticed parallel of Cicero's age with our own, though strained by Mr. Froude beyond what it will bear,1 is yet at once plausible and penetrating, and gives to the story of this age an interest and value not resting entirely on the skill of the narrator.

Letters of Marcus Tullius Cicero by Marcus Tullius Cicero Pdf
Excerpt from Letters of Marcus Tullius Cicero: With His Treatises on Friendship and Old Age Marcus Tullius Cicero, the greatest of Roman orators and the chief master of Latin prose style, was born at Arpinum, Jan. 3,106 B. C. His father, who was a man of property and belonged to the class of the "Knights," moved to Rome when Cicero was a child; and the future statesman received an elaborate education in rhetoric, law, and philosophy, studying and practising under some of the most noted teachers of the time. He began his career as an advocate at the age of twenty-five, and almost immediately came to be recognised not only as a man of brilliant talents but also as a courageous upholder of justice in the face of grave political danger. After two years of practice he left Rome to travel in Greece and Asia, taking all the opportunities that offered to study his art under distinguished masters. He returned to Rome greatly improved in health and in professional skill, and in 76 B. C. was elected to the office of quaestor. He was assigned to the province of Lilybaeum in Sicily, and the vigor and justice of his administration earned him the gratitude of the inhabitants. It was at their request that he undertook in 70 B. C. the prosecution of Verres, who as praetor had subjected the Sicilians to incredible extortion and oppression; and his successful conduct of this case, which ended in the conviction and banishment of Verres, may be said to have launched him on his political career. He became aedile in the same year, in 67 B. C. praetor, and in 64 B. C. was elected consul by a large majority. The most important event of the year of his consulship was the conspiracy of Catiline. This notorious criminal of patrician rank had conspired with a number of others, many of them young men of high birth but dissipated character, to seize the chief offices of the state, and to extricate themselves from the pecuniary and other difficulties that had resulted from their excesses, by the wholesale plunder of the city. The plot was unmasked by the vigilance of Cicero, five of the traitors were summarily executed, and in the overthrow of the army that had been gathered in their support Catiline himself perished. Cicero regarded himself as the savior of his country, and his country for the moment seemed to give grateful assent. But reverses were at hand.

Excerpt from Social Life at Rome: In the Age of Cicero Apart from this correspondence and the other literature of the time, my mainstay throughout has been the Privatleben der Rémer of Marquardt, which forms the last portion of the great Handbuch der R'o'mischen Altertn'mcr of Mommsen and Mar quardt. My debt is great also to Professors Tyrrell and Purser, whose labours have provided us with a text of Cicero's letters which we can use with confidence; the citations from these letters have all been verified in the new Oxford text edited by Professor Purser. One other name I must mention With gratitude. I firmly believe that the one great hope for classical learning and education lies in the interest which the unlearned public may be brought to feel in ancient life and thought. We have just lost the veteran French scholar who did more perhaps to create and maintain such an interest than any man of his time; and I gladly here acknowledge that it was Boissier's Cice'ron et ses amis that in my younger days made me first feel the reality of life and character in an age of which I then hardly knew anything but the perplexing political history.

Cicero in His Letters by Robert Yelverton Tyrrell Pdf
Excerpt from Cicero in His Letters: Edited With Notes In the Introduction, in dealing with Cicero as a public man, I have confined myself to those epochs in his career in which, as it seems to me, his char acter and motives have been misapprehended or deliberately misrepresented. The Introduction is for the most part abridged from the Correspondence of Cicero, where the subjects here treated are dealt with in greater detail than seems necessary for those for whom the present volume is intended, namely, boys in the higher forms at the schools of Great Britain and America.

Roman Life in the Days of Cicero by Alfred John Church Pdf
Excerpt from Roman Life in the Days of Cicero: Sketches Drawn From His Letters and Speeches Life of Cicero, a work full of sound sense, though curiously deficient in scholarship. The publishers and myself hope that the illustrations, giving as there is good reason to believe they do the veritable likenesses of some of the chief actors in the scenes described, will have a special interest. It is not till we come down to comparatively recent times that we find art again lending the same aid to the understanding of history.

An Easy Selection from Cicero's Correspondence (Classic Reprint) by Marcus Tullius Cicero Pdf
Excerpt from An Easy Selection From Cicero's Correspondence A Committee of the Classical Association has lately recommended that, in certain schools where the Latin Course is generally limited to four years, some of the easier letters of Cicero should be read as part of the third year's work. An attempt is here made to provide such a selection. A great many of Cicero's letters are obviously unsuitable for the purpose: they are too difficult, or the text is corrupt, or they contain Greek. But care has been taken to select such letters only as do not offer much difficulty; and it so happens that some of these easy letters are among the most interesting of the whole correspondence. Two of the letters here printed were written by Caesar; they are very simple, but there is not much in the whole of literature which surpasses in interest these short notes written by such a man at such a time.
