Author Description

Excerpt from M. Tullii Ciceronis Cato Maior, Sive De Senectute This edition does not require a long Preface. It is meant for the same purpose as Mr. Sidgwick's com panion edition, of the 'de Amicitia.' In drawing up the Notes, I have simply tried to give the kind and quantity of help which a master approves and a boy will understand. Beginners are easily discouraged and confused by a variety Of readings and a crowd Of references. Hence I have reduced matter of this kind to a minimum. The text is based mainly on that of Sommerbroodt and Reid. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
