Thoughts of an imprint
Cicero was a Roman statesman, and not only was he an orator of the highest order, but he was also a captivating writer who penned beautiful prose. There are few individuals in history who have written prose more beautiful than his. In fact, he wrote such exquisite Latin that, at one time, education literally meant reading Cicero, Cicero, and some more Cicero.
This book is a collection of letters, translated from Latin to English, that he wrote to friends, family members, and colleagues. Sometimes, he wrote letters because he was concerned about a friend’s health; other times, he wrote to his family because he was worried about their well-being or needed to give them directions. Occasionally, he wrote to friends and colleagues to curry favor for people he knew.
In my command here I have put into practice the whole Education of Cyrus, a work which I read so often that I wore out the book.
