Flagstaff Hill Maritime Museum and VillageBook - Ancient Political Speeches/Reference, Henry George Bohn, The Orations of Marcus Tullius Cicero Vol 3, 1852
... ...Bohn's Classical Library...classical scholar, historian, and incredibly prolific translator. Educated at Eton and Oxford, he became a professor of history and English literature at Queen's College, Belfast. He is best remembered for producing massive volumes of literal English translations of ancient Greek and Latin authors (including Cicero, Philo, and Diogenes Laërtius) for Bohn's Library, which is renowned for rendering dense ancient prose into clear, concise, and accessible Victorian English....Yonge’s literal translations for Bohn's Classical Library democratised the classics. For the first time, everyday Victorian readers, students, and professionals who hadn't mastered Latin or Greek could read Cicero's exact arguments. ...The Orations of Marcus Tullius Cicero, Vol. 3 contains some of the most dramatic political speeches in ancient history. Volume 3 of this 1852 edition pivots away from the sweeping state conspiracies found in other volumes and focuses intensely on Cicero's personal political survival and highly dramatic legal defense trials. To understand its contents, you have to look at Cicero's life right before these speeches were given. In 58 BC, Cicero’s bitter enemy, Clodius, passed a law that forced Cicero into exile and destroyed his homes. A year later, Cicero was triumphantly recalled to Rome. Volume 3 is entirely made up of the legal battles and political speeches that followed his return as he fought to reclaim his property, protect his allies, and attack his enemies. If Volume 4 is about Cicero trying to save the dying Roman Republic from Mark Antony, Volume 3 is about Cicero saving his own skin, rebuilding his career, and fighting the corrupt gang politics of 1st-century BC Rome.The Orations of Marcus Tullius Cicero Vol 3 Author: C D Yonge Publisher: Henry G Bohn Date: 1852 Green cloth hard cover with Library label, title & Vol number on spine in gold letteringnon-fictionThe Orations of Marcus Tullius Cicero, Vol. 3 contains some of the most dramatic political speeches in ancient history.

Bohn edition is arguably the most famous and politically explosive volume in the entire four-part series.
