Tullius Cicero, Vol. 1: Arranged According to Its Chronological Order; With a Revision of the Text, a Commentary, and Introductory Essays on the Life of Cicero, and the Style of His Letters In preparing the present edition I have gone carefully over the whole book, paying special attention to the kind and instructive remarks of the critics of the first edition. Several notes have been re-written, and most of my statements examined anew. In the work of examination and verification I have received much assistance from my friend Mr. Purser. Since the appearance of my first volume, the criticism of the Epp. ad Fam, has passed into quite a new phase. The admirable monograph of Thurot on the codex Turonensis has proved its independence of M; and the paper of Fr. Ruhl in the Rheinisches Museum has called attention to the value of the Harleian codices in the British Museum. These Harleian codices Mr. Purser has collated. I have introduced into the Adnotatio Critica of this volume a complete account of the tradition of H and T (which are described in Introd. iii. 1). It will be observed, however, that this volume contains very few of the letters ad Familiares. The succeeding volumes will present a full account of the readings of these important mss, which have not yet been used by any editors of the letters. The Introduction to vol. ii. will also, I trust, contain a full description of the Harleian codices. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
