Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cicero's Essays on Old Age and Friendship, Also His Paradoxes Marcus Tullius Cicero stands first among the prose writers in Roman literature, and as an orator ranks second only to Demosthenes. Being fortunate enough to be born of wealthy parents, he was able to secure the best educational advantages the country afforded. At an early age he appeared to possess talents which gave promise of making him famous. His father, therefore, moved from Arpinum, where Cicero was born, and took up his residence in Rome, in order that his son might receive the best education possible. Here Cicero studied the Greek writers under the poet Archias, who inspired him with that literary taste which made him so distinguished among the men of his time. Later on, under Scaevola, the augur, and after his death under his kinsman, the pontifex, Cicero laid the foundation of a profound knowledge of legal principles which attributed greatly to his success in the defence of accused persons. It was the custom among the Romans for young men upon reaching manhood to spend a portion of their lives in military service.

Excerpt: ... * for living well and honorably;1 and if you should advance further, you need no more grieve than farmers do when the loveliness of spring-time hath passed, that summer and autumn have come. For spring represents the time of youth, and gives promise of the future fruits; the remaining seasons are intended for plucking and gathering in those fruits. Now the harvest of old age, as I have often said, is the recollection and abundance of blessings previously secured. In truth every thing that happens agreeably to nature is to be reckoned among blessings. What, however, is so agreeable to nature as for an old man to die? which even is the lot of the young, though nature opposes and resists. And thus it is that young men seem to me to die, just as when the violence of flame is extinguished by a flood of water; whereas old men die, as the exhausted fire goes out, spontaneously, without the exertion of any force; and as fruits when they are green are plucked by force from the trees, but when ripe and mellow drop off, so violence takes away their lives from youths, maturity from old men; a state 1" Glory is the portion of virtue, the sweet reward of honorable toils, the triumphant crown which covers the thoughtf'nl head of the disinterested patriot, or the dusty brow of the victorious warrior. Elevated by so sublime a prize, the man of virtue looks down with contempt on all the allurements of pleasure, and all the menances of danger. Death itself loses its terrors when he considers that its dominion extends only over a part of him, and that, in spite of death and time, the rage of the elements, and the endless vicissitudes of human affairs, he is assured of an immortal fame among all the sons of men. There is surely a Being who presides over...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cicero's Three Books of Offices: Or Moral Duties; Also His Cato Major, an Essay on Old Age; Laelius, an Essay on Friendship; Paradoxes; Scipio's Dream; And Letter to Quintus on the Duties of a Magistrate The present volume comprises the most popular moral treatises of Cicero. In preparing an edition adapted to the wants of the student, the editor has addressed himself to two principal objects. The first, to produce a close and faithful translation, avoiding on the one hand, the freedom of Melmoth's elegant paraphrase, and on the other, the crudeness and inaccuracy of the so-called literal translation of Cockman; the second, to present the opinions of modern moralists, chiefly of our own country, in juxtaposition with those of Cicero, that the reader may be enabled to estimate the changes which have passed over the human mind in relation to these subjects, and perceive how far these changes have been occasioned by the promulgation of the Christian religion. A subsidiary design has been to show, by parallel passages, to what extent the writings of modern moralists have been tinctured with the thoughts of the Roman philosopher; and to point out particular instances in which their arguments and illustrations are identical. In briefly sketching the subjects of the following treatises, we shall for the most part adopt the observations of Dunlop, in his "History of Roman Literature." The first, and most important treatise, is The Offices, or three books of "Moral Duties." Of these the first two are supposed to be chiefly derived from a lost work of Panaetius, a Greek philosopher, who resided at Rome in the second century before Christ.
