Author Description

Excerpt from M. Tulli Ciceronis: Oratio Philippica Secunda Philippic oration of Cicero at the request of the Syndics of the University Press, who desired me to expurgate the text and to write notes suitable for junior students. In both of these points I hope I have exercised due discretion. I have taken care to omit as little as possible from the text; in one in stance* I have altered a word or two for convenience. In regard to the notes I have found it impossible to be very brief, when almost every sentence seems to require some explanation, but I have tried to keep my notes free from irrelevant matter.
