Excerpt from Select Orations of M. T. Cicero: Accompanied With a Latin Ordo, and Illustrated With English Notes, Explanatory and Critical The present edition of Cicero is on the same plan with the volume of Caesar already published - the ordinary text in the front part of the volume, the transformed text or Ordo at the end, and English notes connected with the latter. The notes of the Cicero are somewhat more extended than those of Caesar, on account of the ideas of the orations being of a more abstract character, and not so level to the ordinary comprehension of boys. In selecting the orations to be illustrated, the editor chose the four orations against Catiline, as being in a manner indispensable, both on account of their own merit, and as the counterpart and complement of Sallust's history of Catiline's Conspiracy, to these he has added the defence of Milo, as being by far the most elaborate of Cicero's orations, and embodying, in a careful and thorough preparation, the best and most consummate expression of the great abilities of the orator, and lastly, the oration in behalf of Archias, as containing a delightful exhibition of Cicero's enthusiastic devotion to literature and fervent interest in the cause of liberal learning.
