The Life and Letters of Marcus Tullius Cicero; Being a New Translation of the Letters Included in Watson's Selection: With Historical and Critical Notes By G. E. Jeans (Classic Reprint)

Ciceronian criticism which has been made in the thirteen years since my last edition. Professors Tyrrell and Purser, in the Preface to their concluding volume (i 899), speak of that flood of light which in the last decade the labours and genius of many Continental scholars especially O. E. Schmidt, Gurlitt, and Lehmann M endelssohn is only a little earlier have throwrn on the text, the history of the MSS., and the chronological sequence of the Letters. To these the two Professors own noble edition of all the Letters, in chronological order, must now happily be added, a work reflecting the highest distinction, not only on its editors, but on the great University of Dublin, from whose press it is issued. I have already, in successive notices of the third, fourth, and fifth volumes in the Classical Reviej. expressed my appreciation of this important work ;but at the time of my last edition only two volumes had been finished, covering the ground of the first thirty Letters in this book.
