Useful to the Student of Cicero.

HISTORY. With this speech should be read Plutarch's lives of Pompeius, Cicero, Cæsar, Brutus and Antonius (translated, with others, by Mr Long in his 'Civil Wars of Rome,' forming five of 'Knight's Shilling Volumes'). Cf. Dio (as far as b. XLVI.), Caesar b. c., Appian b. c. (II-IV.), Suet. Caes., Velleius (II. 29— 66), Mr Merivale's Fall of the Roman Republic,' and Abeken's 'Account of the Life and Writings of Cicero,' 1854. To the scholar perhaps no books on ancient history are more useful than W. H. Suringar's 'M. Tullii Ciceronis commentarii de vita sua. Accesserunt Annales Ciceroniani. Leidae. 1854,' and Orelli's 'Onomasticon Tullianum.' [Forsyth's Life of Cic.]

CHRONOLOGY. Zumpt'sAnnales' (reprinted by Mr T. K. Arnold) for schools. Fischer's 'römische Zeittafeln' (Altona, 1846, 4to, consisting chiefly of extracts from ancient authors) for the university.

LEXICONS. The large lexicons of Gesner, Scheller, and even Forcellini, may now be bought for the same sum as the abridgements of Freund's abridgement of Forcellini. To the scholar nothing can supply the place of these great storehouses of the facts of the language. For Cicero specially, Ernesti's Clavis (ed. 6. Halle, 1831, 8vo) is very convenient. The 'Lexicon Ciceronianum' of Schütz (Lips. 1819) and that of Nizolius (best ed. Patav. 1734, fol.) should be added by the more advanced scholar. Merguet's complete 'Lexikon zu den Reden des Cicero. Jena, Mauke,' small fol. has been brought down to 'ingredior.'

EDITIONS. a. Rhetorical works. Ellendt's 'de oratore' (Königsb. 1840, 2 vols. 8vo) and 'Brutus' (ib. 1844), 8vo. A. S. Wilkins 'de or. Oxf. 1879,' vol. I.

Plancio,' Lips. 1830, 4to, by Wunder.-'p. Cluentio,' with English notes by Prof. Ramsay (2d ed.).—'p. Archia' and 'p. Balbo' by J. S. Reid, Cambr. 1879. Catilin.' and 'p. leg. Manil.' by A. S. Wilkins after Halm. 'p. Murena' and 'div. in Caecil. in Verr. act. 1,' by W. E. Heitland, Camb. 1877.
