“The principal design of the following attempt, is to trace the conduct and inquire into the character of Cicero. For this purpose the present Letters were preferred to those which are written to Atticus, as they show the Author of them in a greater variety of connections, and afford an opportunity of considering him in almost every possible point of view. This correspondance includes a period of about twenty years; commencing immediately after Cicero’s consulate, and ending a few months before his death.” (#027276)        $100.00
