The Speech of Cicero for Aulus Cluentius Habitus With Prolegomena and Notes (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Speech of Cicero for Aulus Cluentius Habitus: With Prolegomena and Notes On examining the oration itself, it will be found full of freshness and vigour, remarkable alike for clearness and precision of statement in a case singularly complicated, for force and acuteness of argument, and for magnificent bursts of eloquence. Besides all this, it possesses an attraction peculiarly its own; for while elsewhere we are presented with pictures of life and manners in Rome and in Rome only, we here obtain a glimpse of the social habits and relations of those who dwelt in the provincial towns of Italy.
