Book excerpt: Excerpt from Marcus Tullius Cicero: Ten Orations; With The Letters To His Wife In preparing this book the editor has aimed to help the student to accomplish intelligently the work in Cicero required for admission to college; to give him some insight into the history, institutions, and language of the Romans; and to awaken in him some appreciation of Roman life and Roman ways of thinking. The special needs of the high school student have been kept in view throughout. Latin and Greek authors arc quoted in their vernacular only when the passage is comparatively simple in both form and content, and an attempt has been made to present only knowledge that will be of value either in explaining the text or in stimulating thought and interest. The notes and vocabulary are the result of many years of class-room experience. The notes represent to some extent the need of explanation as shown by the questions of students in their daily recitations; the vocabulary gives, besides the derivation and the primitive meaning of the words, such English equivalents as indicate various uses in the text. It has not seemed wise to attempt to supply a rendering of the word in its setting in every passage; vocabularies of this sort leave no room for real exercise in the art of translation. The word-groups will, it is hoped, prove a means of enlarging the pupil's vocabulary and of increasing his knowledge of Latin etymology. The chronological order of the orations has been sacrificed from considerations of expediency. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
