Cicero is considered to be Rome's greatest orator and prose writer. His writing is some of the best classical Latin still in existence. Cicero introduced Rome to Greek philosophy and created the Latin philosophical vocabulary. Tusculan Disputations has been summarized in the introduction as follows. "The first book teaches us how to contemn the terrors of death, and to look upon it as a blessing rather than an evil. The second to support pain and affliction with a manly fortitude. The third, to appease all our complaints and uneasiness...

Title: Cicero's Brutus or History of Famous Orators; also His Orator, or Accomplished Speaker. Author: Marcus Tullius CiceroNow first translated into English by E. JonesPREFACE.As the following Rhetorical Pieces have never appeared before in theEnglish language, I thought a Translation of them would be no unacceptableoffering to the Public. The character of the Author (Marcus TulliusCicero) is so universally celebrated, that it would be needless, andindeed impertinent, to say any thing to recommend them.The first of them was the fruit of his retirement, during the remains ofthe _Civil War_ in Africa; and was composed in the form of a Dialogue. Itcontains a few short, but very masterly sketches of all the Speakerswho had flourished either in Greece or Rome, with any reputation ofEloquence, down to his own time; and as he generally touches the principalincidents of their lives, it will be considered, by an attentive reader,as a _concealed epitome of the Roman history_. The conference is supposedto have been held with Atticus, and their common friend Brutus, inCicero's garden at Rome, under the statue of Plato, whom he alwaysadmired, and usually imitated in his dialogues: and he seems in this tohave copied even his _double titles_, calling it _Brutus, or the Historyof famous Orators_. It was intended as a _supplement_, or _fourth book_,to three former ones, on the qualifications of an Orator.The second, which is intitled _The Orator_, was composed a very short timeafterwards (both of them in the 61st year of his age) and at the requestof Brutus. It contains a plan, or critical delineation, of what he himselfesteemed the most finished Eloquence, or style of Speaking. He calls it_The Fifth Part, or Book_, designed to complete his _Brutus_, and _theformer three_ on the same subject. It was received with great approbation;and in a letter to Lepta, who had complimented him upon it, he declares,that whatever judgment he had in Speaking, he had thrown it all into thatwork, and was content to risk his reputation on the merit of it. But it isparticularly recommended to our curiosity, by a more exact account of therhetorical _composition_, or _prosaic harmony_ of the ancients, than is tobe met with in any other part of his works.As to the present Translation, I must leave the merit of it to be decidedby the Public; and have only to observe, that though I have not, to myknowledge, omitted a single sentence of the original, I was obliged, insome places, to paraphrase my author, to render his meaning intelligibleto a modern reader. My chief aim was to be clear and perspicuous: if Ihave succeeded in _that_, it is all I pretend to. I must leave it to ablerpens to copy the _Eloquence_ of Cicero. _Mine_ is unequal to the task.BRUTUS, OR THE HISTORY OF ELOQUENCE.When I had left Cilicia, and arrived at Rhodes, word was brought me of thedeath of Hortensius. I was more affected with it than, I believe, wasgenerally expected. For, by the loss of my friend, I saw myself for everdeprived of the pleasure of his acquaintance, and of our mutualintercourse of good offices. I likewise reflected, with Concern, that thedignity of our College must suffer greatly by the decease of such aneminent augur. This reminded me, that _he_ was the person who firstintroduced me to the College, where he attested my qualification uponoath; and that it was _he_ also who installed me as a member; so that Iwas bound by the constitution of the Order to respect and honour him as aparent. My affliction was increased, that, in such a deplorable dearth ofwife and virtuous citizens, this excellent man, my faithful associate inthe service of the Public, expired at the very time when the Commonwealthcould least spare him, and when we had the greatest reason to regret thewant of his prudence and authority.
