Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Life of Marcus Tullius Cicero In the following history therefore, if I have happened to afl'irm anything that contradicts the common opinion and shocks the prejudices of the reader, I must desire him to attend diligently to the authorities on which it is grounded and if these do not give satisfaction, to suspend his judgment still to the end of the work, in the progress of which many facts will be cleared up that may appear at first perhaps uncertain and precarious: and in everything especially that relates to Cicero, I would recommend to him to contemplate the whole character, before he thinks himself qualified to judge of its separate parts, on which the whole will always be found the surest comment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of Marcus Tullius Cicero More than a century has elapsed since Middleton first published his "History of the Life of Marcus Tullius Cicero," which has during that period exclusively occupied the field in this country as the Biography of Cicero. It occurred to me that the time had come when another Life might be acceptable to the public. The advanced state of scholarship, which has made the history and literature of Rome so much better understood than when Middleton wrote, - to say nothing of his defects as a biographer, - justifies the appearance of a new account of the great Roman. The faults of his work are not inconsiderable. It is disfigured by a blind and indiscriminating tone of panegyric which is the language of flattery rather than of truth. It is almost entirely occupied with Cicero as a politician and an orator, and does not sufficiently enter into the details of his private and domestic life, which, in my opinion, form the chief charm of a biography.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of Marcus Tullius Cicero, Vol. 2 of 2 During this and the following year we have very few of Cicero's letters, which is explained by the fact that Atticus, his chief correspondent, was then at Rome. Atticus had made a journey into Greece and Asia Minor in the previous summer, but re turned in November, and the friends were together for the next two years. And as this work is not a history of Rome, but a biography of Cicero, and he took during the period little part in public affairs, we may pass rapidly over events with which he was not immediately concerned.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Marcus Tullius Cicero The Life of Cicero, by Dr. Conyers Middleton, has long enjoyed an extensive and well-merited circulation. To the classical scholar, affording, as it does, a continued commentary upon the text, in the shape of copious notes, carefully transcribed from the works of the Orator, in addition to treating upon the minutest particulars of his history then known, and containing a mass of information derived from almost every available source with respect to the leading events of his time, it must always prove a valuable aid towards a thorough acquaintance with one of the most interesting periods. Other and no less obvious merits, notwithstanding the slight drawback presented in its decided and extravagant partiality, might easily be specified. With all its excellences, however, it is a work more suited, from its elaborate character, to the learned than either to the general reader, or to the student who may be desirous of making himself acquainted with the leading events in the Life of Cicero, without possessing leisure or curiosity sufficient to enter into the more extensive field of inquiry presented by the labours of Middleton.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Marcus Tullius Cicero, Vol. 2 Creako's return was what he himself truly calls it, tbe beginning of a new life to him which was to be governed by new maxims, and a new kind of policy, yet so as not to forfeit his old character. He had been made to feel in what hands the weight of power lay, and what little dependence was to be placed on the help and support of his aristocratical friends: Pom pey had served him on this important occasion very sincerely, and with the concurrence also of Cesar, so as to make it a point of gratitude, as well as prudence, to be more observant of them than he had hitherto been.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Letters of Marcus Tullius Cicero In drawing the characters of a number of persons who all lived in the same city at the same time, trained by the same discipline, and engaged in the same pursuits; as there must be many similar strokes, and a general resemblance in them all, so the chief difficulty will be to prevent them from running into too great an uniformity. This I have endeavoured to do, not by forming ideal pictures, or such as would please or surprise; but by attending to the particular facts which history has delivered of the men, and tracing them to their source, or to those correspondent affections from which they derived their birth; for these are the distinguishing features of the several persons, which, when duly represented, and placed in their proper light, will not fail to exhibit that precise difference in which the peculiarity of each character consists.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Marcus Tullius Cicero, Vol. 2 of 3 Both those speeches are still extant, and a pas sage 01 'two from each will illustrate the temper and disposition m which he returned. In speaking to the senate, after a particular recital of the ser vices of his friends, he adds: as I have a pleasure in enumerating these, so I willingly pass over in silence what others wickedly acted against me; it is not my present business to remember inju ries; which, if it were in my power to revenge, I should choose to forget; my life shall be ap plied to other puposes to repay the good of fices of those who have deserved it of me to hold fast the friendships which have been tr1ed as it were in the fire; to wage war with declared ene mies to pardon my timorous, nor yet expose my treacherous friends; and to balance the misery of exile by the dignity of my return. To the people he observes; that there were four sorts of enemies, who concurred to oppress him: the first, who, out of hatred to the republiek, were mortal enemies to him for having Saved it: the second, who, under a false pretence of friendship, infamously betrayed him: the third, who, through their inability to obtain what he had acquired, were envious of his dignity: the fourth, who though by office they ought to have been the guardians of the' republick, bartered away his safety, the peace of the city, and the dignity of the empire, which were committed to their trust.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Letters of Marcus Tullius Cicero: Being a New Translation of the Letters Included in Mr. Watson's Selection; With Historical and Critical Notes And to almost any reasoning and reasonable narrative of Cicero's life I should attach the highest value, irrespective of the conclusions it led to. There is no other classical work to be compared to his Letters for teaching that the Romans were real living men and women, and not mere paper characters, or school masters' puppets. The time in which he lived, too, was to us almost the central time of the world's history; and there were giants on the earth in those days. Moreover, the often noticed parallel of Cicero's age with our own, though strained by Mr. Froude beyond what it will bear,1 is yet at once plausible and penetrating, and gives to the story of this age an interest and value not resting entirely on the skill of the narrator.
