Excerpt from The History of the Progress and Termination of the Roman Republic, Vol. 1 Next to the author of these Annals ascribed to the Supreme Pontiff, Fabius and Cato, who lived in the sixth century of Rome, or in the time of the wars with Carthage, are, in the fame passage of Cicero, placed as the first adventurers in Roman history. With respect to ancient times, therefore, of which these authors could not obtain much good information, we may suspect that the greater part was tradition, interlarded with fable, although, with respect to what they themselves had access to know, as parties concerned, or from the. relation of contemporary writers, of whom there were some in Greek, they were no doubt highly entitled to credit. Both are mentioned among the Officers of State, and Cato, in particular, is quoted as a pattern of wisdom, frugality, and severity of manners.
