Excerpt from Ten Orations of Cicero: With Selections From the LettersThe Orations included in this edition are those which are most often required by the various colleges of this country. The selec tions from the Letters were made with special reference to their fitness for use as exercises in translation at sight they will at the same time give a glimpse of Cicero in his family life and in his relations with those to whom he was frank and outspoken.The variations from the text of Baiter and Kayser consist mainly in different punctuation, in writing the genitive singular of -z'o-stems in -2 instead of 47, and in the treatment of bracketed passages, which in some cases have been received into the text, while others were removed altogether.For the sake of uniformity long vowels are marked as they appear in the Elementary Latin Dictionary of Charlton T. Lewis, except in cases which would require too much sacrifice of conviction.This book is intended to be 'very practical throughout, and in its preparation the sole aim has been to meet the needs of the preparatory students who would be likely to use it.An expression of appreciation is due Professor Lewis Stuart of Lake Forest University for his kindness in offering the use of a large amount of material which he had collected upon some of the subjects treated in the Introduction.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
