Author Description

Excerpt from Second Philippic: With an Introduction and Notes Having long regarded Halm's commentaries on Cicero as admirably fitted to spread a sound knowledge of those writings, which are the test* of proficiency in Latin, I did not hesitate to recommend his edition to the class, with which I read the Second Philippic in the last October term. AS however the book was not accessible to all my hearers, I determined to put the introduction and notes into an English dress.
