In Latin and English. These orations of Cicero's were chosen by the commentator "partly from finding that as a matter of fact they had come to be more read by Students in this University [Oxford] than any other portion of his works; but even more because I was convinced of their especial value, both as bringing out most strongly Cicero's power as an orator, and his importance in the State at what was perhaps really the most honourable portion of his life, and also as illustrating a period of history concerning which we have so little contemporary information."--Preface. Includes a chronology and works cited; each oration is endowed with copious footnotes and references.
