CICERO
by the
REV. W. LUCAS COLLINS, M.A.
AUTHOR OF 'ETONIANA', 'THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS', ETC.
I have to acknowledge my obligations to Mr. Forsyth's well-known 'Life of Cicero', especially as a guide to the biographical materials which abound in his Orations and Letters. Mr. Long's scholarly volumes have also been found useful. For the translations, such as they are, I am responsible. If I could have met with any which seemed to me more satisfactory, I would gladly have adopted them.
W.L.C.
