THE LETTERS O F Marcus Tullius Cicero то Several of his FRIENDS: With REMARKS By WILLIAM MELMOTH, Efq; THE THIRD EDITION. IN THREE VOLUMES. n Ex.Mus. Reg. Gall. LONDON: Printed for J. DODSLEY, in Pall-mall. 1778, ADVERTISEMENT. THE principal defirn of the follow ing attempt, is to trace the conduct, and inquire into the character of Cicero. For this purpose the prefent letters were preferred to thofe which are written to Atticus: as they fhew the author of them in a greater variety of connections, and afford an opportunity indeed of confidering him in almost every poffible point of view. This correfpondence includes a period of about twenty years; commencing immediately after Cicero's confulate, and ending a few months before his death. |
