Author Description

Excerpt from Select Orations of M. Tullius Cicero: With English Notes, for the Use of Schools and Colleges The objects aimed at in the Notes appended, are: First, To keep before the mind of the pupil the train of thought or of argument pursued; for if that is lost sight of, all interest in the subject ceases, and the whole becomes unintelligible or obscure. Secondly, To explain the more difficult constructions and idioms, point out the peculiarities and beauties of thought or expression as they occur, and generally to lead the student to understand the text, and appreciate its beauties: and Thirdly, To illustrate the subject by such historical, biographical, and archaeological notices, as were necessary to explain the text, and to throwr light on the numerous allusions to persons and'events, doubtless well known to those before whom the orations were delivered, and which must still be known, in order to a proper understanding of the subject.
