Select Orations of Cicero - With English Notes, Critical and Explanatory, and Historical, Geographical, and Legal Indexes #251606

In forming the text of the present work, the editor has taken Ernesti's for his basis, but without any slavish adherence to the opinions and decisions of that distinguished commentator. Wherever a reading presented itself, calculated in the editor's opinion to throw more light on the meaning of Cicero than the received lection could impart, he has not hesitated to adopt it; and he dattore himself that the result of his labours, in this department, will prove accept. Able to all who are qualified to pass an opinion upon his efi'orts.
