Reading edition
On “Cicero’s Letters as Class Reading,” see the excellent article of Dr. O. E. Schmidt in Neue Jahrbücher, vol. VIII, pp. 162–174. This author wishes them to be read, after the orations against Catiline, De Senectute, or De Amicitia have been studied. He adds also a plan for a new selection of the letters.
