Excerpt from Cicero Select Letters To meet the demand for a brief volume of Cicero's letters, to be read in connection with Cicero's orations, the present selection of letters has been prepared and edited in accord with D'Ooge's Select Orations of Cicero. While, in view of their purpose, the choice of selections has been limited to the easiest and plainest letters, yet the list will be found sufficiently extensive to include illustration of Cicero's most salient personal traits and many of the most prominent phases of his career. Owing to the close connection between this book and Professor D'Ooge's Cicero, it has seemed necessary to include in the vocabulary only those words which do not appear in his vocabulary to the Orations. As these words appear for the first time in the text they are marked with a star to show that they have been placed in the vocabulary of this book. It has seemed best, also, in marking the quantities, to keep in accord with the second edition of Professor D'Ooge's Cicero, soon to appear, without asserting the opinion of the writer in regard to any of the hidden quantities so marked.
