Author Description

Excerpt from Ciceronis Laelius, Sive De Amicitia, Vol. 1: With Introduction and Notes; Introduction and Text IN preparing this edition of the Laelius I have had in view the wants of a University student, who may be supposed to take an intelligent interest, not only in the grammatical, but in the literary, historical, and philosophical aspects of the books he reads. Baiter's text has been followed, with a few variations which have been mentioned in the notes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
