The Correspondence of M. Tullius Cicero, Vol. 2 Arranged According to Its Chronological Order, with a Revision of the Text, a Commentary, and Introductory Essays (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Correspondence of M. Tullius Cicero, Vol. 2: Arranged According to Its Chronological Order, With a Revision of the Text, a Commentary, and Introductory Essays <p>The dificulty as regards the order of the letters is the same as that noticed in the third edition of the first volume The order of our original edition is retained, though that order has in some cases been proved to be wrong; because alteration of it would render the references all through the succeeding volumes of our edition untrustworthy. The table given on pp. 302-304 will (it is hoped) in a measure remedy this defect, and enable students to discover without difficulty the approximate chronological orde of the several letters. <p>We desire to thank Mr. Gibbs of the University Press for many useful corrections. <p>About the Publisher <p>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
