   2     Pre              |        edition with explanatory notes is that of Goerenz, published
   3     Pre              |          superior to that of Goerenz, is very deficient when judged
   4     Pre              |             in those where an attempt is made to impart such instruction
   5     Pre              |         intelligent pupils, and there is scarcely a note of mine
   6     Pre              |             obtain access. The result is a text which lies considerably
   7     Pre              |               of the texts now in use is depriving a Classical training
   8     Pre              |               which they are obtained is worthless for the purposes
   9     Pre              |          purposes of education, which is thus made to rest on memory
  10     Pre              |       important places where the text is doubtful.~My experience
  11     Pre              |        students for whom this edition is intended have a far smaller
  12     Pre              |             done in pointing out what is, and what is not, Ciceronian

  14     Pre              |            actual quotation.~As there is no important doctrine of
  15     Pre              |              Ancient Philosophy which is not touched upon somewhere
  16     Pre              |        somewhere in the Academica, it is evidently impossible for
  17     Pre              |             complete for a reader who is studying that subject for
  18     Pre              |             Sceptics (whenever Zeller is quoted without any further
  19     Pre              |         further description this book is meant), and the Historia
  20     Pre              |          forms.~Although this edition is primarily intended for junior
  21     Pre              |               for junior students, it is hoped that it may not be
  22     Pre              |            greatly need. Moreover, it is a great gain, even at the
  23     Pre              |             over-fastidiousness which is so prevalent in this University,
  24     Int,       I     |     disposition and refined style. He is the only Epicurean, with,
  25     Int,       I     |           important Greek schools. It is fair to conclude that he
  26     Int,       I     |            tour in Eastern Hellas. It is usually supposed that he
  27     Int,       I     |        Roscius. The silence of Cicero is enough to condemn this theory,
  28     Int,       I     |              Patro and Phaedrus17. It is curious to find that Zeno
  29     Int,       I     |             curious to find that Zeno is numbered by Cicero among

  35     Int,       I     |            the views of Antiochus. It is improbable that Cicero at
  36     Int,       I     |           since in the Academica28 he is mentioned in such a way
  37     Int,       I     |               a minute inquirer32. He is scarcely ever mentioned
  38     Int,       I     |              pronouncing that nothing is sweeter than universal knowledge.
  39     Int,       I     |          allowed to drop45. Aristotle is especially mentioned as

  42     Int,       I     |              the thirty tyrants61. It is curious to find Cicero,
  43     Int,       I     |              his letters at this time is the same: see especially
  44     Int,       I     |        philosophical works of Cicero, is sufficient to justify his
  45     Int,       I     |               So far as the Academica is concerned, I have had in
  46     Int,       I     |  philosophical attainments, but there is one piece of unfairness
  47     Int,       I     |              xv] than the present. It is this. Cicero, the philosopher,
  48     Int,       I     |              Cicero, the philosopher, is made to suffer for the shortcomings
  49     Int,      II     |        doctrine held by these schools is still a great desideratum.
  50     Int,      II     |            any discrepancy appear, it is at once concluded that Cicero
  51     Int,      II     |            once concluded that Cicero is in gross error, whereas,
  52     Int,      II     |                in all probability, he is uttering opinions which
  53     Int,      II     |              criticism of Madvig even is not free from this error,
  54     Int,      II     |               that absolute knowledge is impossible was the one Academic
  55     Int,      II     |          followed the New Academy.~It is easy to see what there was
  56     Int,      II     |              free conflict of opinion is necessary [xviii] to the
  57     Int,      II     |               has pined. Pythagoras78 is quoted as a warning example,
  58     Int,      II     |               said for every view. It is a positive duty to discuss
  59     Int,      II     |              and when the discrepancy is pointed out, refuses to
  60     Int,      II     |      statements, on the score that he is an Academic and a freeman83. "
  61     Int,      II     |            Chrysippus86. The Academic is only anxious that people
  62     Int,      II     |               of error87. This spirit is even found in Lucullus the
  63     Int,      II     |             to follow89. The probable is for it the true.~Another
  64     Int,      II     |             art could be reared. This is equally true of the Pyrrhonian
  65     Int,      II     |            trouble to editors. Cicero is there charged by Varro with
  66     Int,      II     |            and admits the charge. How is this to be reconciled with
  67     Int,      II     |         Academy to the New. This view is confirmed by the fact that
  68     Int,      II     |              the dialectical dialogue is rejected, is in the De Legibus
  69     Int,      II     |     dialectical dialogue is rejected, is in the De Legibus spoken

  71     Int,      II     |      authority for them105. Zeno, who is merely an ignoble craftsman
  72     Int,      II     |            from the Old Academy. This is Cicero's general feeling
  73     Int,      II     |             chiefly the dialectic. It is just in this that the difference
  74     Int,      II     |             knew well and translated, is especially important. It
  75     Int,     III     |               philosophical works.~It is usual to charge Cicero with
  76     Int,     III     |      depreciate his works. The charge is true, but still absurd,
  77     Int,     III     |      conclusion drawn from the charge is also quite unwarranted.
  78     Int,     III     |              philosophy of the Greeks is of any value, Cicero's works
  79     Int,     III     |            are of equal value, for it is only from them that we get
  80     Int,     III     |           Such outcry, now so common, is due largely to the want,
  81     Int,     III     |             want of originality. This is a virtue which Cicero never
  82     Int,     III     |            Cicero never claims. There is scarcely one of his works (
  83     Int,     III     |               but a few scanty traces is now lost. C. Amafinius,
  84     Int,     III     |            little real importance. It is exceedingly remarkable that
  85     Int,     III     |             Epicurus. The explanation is to be found in the fact
  86     Int,     III     |       interesting and important as it is in itself, and neglected
  87     Int,     III     |             most probable elucidation is, that he found it impossible
  88     Int,     III     |           even concede that the Greek is a richer tongue than the
  89     Int,     III     |               will not hear of it. It is only, he says, because the
  90     Int,     III     |              history of Roman oratory is referred to in support of
  91     Int,     III     |        service he could render123. He is within his right when he
  92     Int,     III     |        harangues, and politics126. It is strange to find Cicero making
  93     Int,     III     |               This design then, which is not explicitly stated in
  94     Int,     III     |               proclaims to be his own is his style. Looked at in
  95     Int,      IV     |       intention to write the treatise is found in a letter of Cicero
  96     Int,      IV     |          meaning of the last question is made clear by a passage
  97     Int,      IV     |            along with the De Finibus, is intended. Against this view
  98     Int,      IV     |         Krische are convincing149. It is clear from the letters to
  99     Int,      IV(150)|              XII. 12, §2, where there is a distinct mention of the
 100     Int,      IV     |          characters in the De Finibus is announced later still152;
 101     Int,      IV     |            the συνταγματα in question is that they are simply the
 102     Int,      IV     |                decides that this view is unsatisfactory, and prefers
 103     Int,      IV     |          question. If this conjecture is correct, we have in the
 104     Int,      IV     |               to the Hortensius which is to be found in the letters
 105     Int,      IV     |           fragments of the Hortensius is an error162. The discussion
 106     Int,      IV     |               in the Academica Priora is carried on at Hortensius'
 107     Int,      IV     |               Lucullus near Cumae. It is rather surprising that under
 108     Int,      IV     |             prooemium of the Lucullus is the one which was then affixed.
 109     Int,      IV     |         philosophical discussions. It is not uncharacteristic of
 110     Int,      IV     |             his promise. From this it is evident that Cicero knew
 111     Int,      IV     |            wishes it, but you know he is~δεινος ανηρ, ταχα κεν και
 112     Int,      IV     |               my part in the treatise is more liberally sustained

 115     Int,      IV     |              bear the title Academica is clear202. The expressions

 117     Int,      IV     |               found in many editions, is merely an imitation of the
 118     Int,      IV     |                but the second edition is the one which is most frequently
 119     Int,      IV     |              edition is the one which is most frequently quoted.
 120     Int,      IV     |           need not detain us long. It is clear from the Lucullus208
 121     Int,      IV     |                   The son, therefore, is merely the mouthpiece of
 122     Int,      IV     |             the case of both a reason is to be found in their ατριψια
 123     Int,      IV     |            masters of Latin style, it is very evident on a comparison
 124     Int,      IV     |         language by the orator214. He is one of the pillars of the
 125     Int,      IV     |            Cicero's consulship, which is alluded to in the Lucullus227.
 126     Int,      IV     |             to in the Lucullus227. It is well known that in the arrangement
 127     Int,      IV     |           offered by the Lucullus, it is necessary to speak of the
 128     Int,      IV     |               a second Laelius229. It is easy to gather from the
 129     Int,      IV     |             second and third books he is treated as the lettered
 130     Int,      IV     |             of the company230. Appeal is made to him when any question
 131     Int,      IV     |              to him when any question is started which touches on
 132     Int,      IV     |            Aristotle and Theophrastus is most to his mind235. An
 133     Int,      IV     |               his mind235. An account is given by him of the history
 134     Int,      IV     |         epigrams239.~Although so much is said of his general culture,
 135     Int,      IV     |               his general culture, it is only from the Academica
 136     Int,      IV     |         mentioned as a friend of his, is the poet Antipater of Sidon241.
 137     Int,      IV     |        Epicureans242. The probability is that he had never placed
 138     Int,      IV     |       Antonius243, and Crassus244. It is scarcely possible that any
 139     Int,      IV     |               the earlier sceptic. It is also exceedingly probable
 140     Int,      IV     |          opinions, but to what extent is uncertain256. I think it
 141     Int,      IV     |         reason in favour of this view is the difficulty of understanding
 142     Int,      IV     |              was unjustifiable. There is actual warrant for stating
 143     Int,      IV     |               of the preceding speech is correct, [liv] it follows
 144     Int,      IV     |               to Varro, part of which is preserved in the Academica
 145     Int,      IV     |           phenomena. To this a retort is made by Lucullus266. That
 146     Int,      IV     |         system, all of which Lucullus is obliged to translate for
 147     Int,      IV     |                   The more the matter is examined the more clearly
 148     Int,      IV(270)|               See II. §4, where there is a reference to the "hesternus
 149     Int,      IV     |          first half of the work. Cato is not closely enough connected
 150     Int,      IV(277)|                                  This is not, as Krische supposes,
 151     Int,      IV     |           from anachronisms. Diodotus is spoken of as still living,

 153     Int,      IV     |               the wisdom of Lucullus, is very dramatic283. The many
 154     Int,      IV     |             Academica and De Finibus, is clearly to be seen285.~Hortensius

 156     Int,      IV     |               by Lucullus. His speech is especially acknowledged
 157     Int,      IV     |         Antiochus286. Nearly all that is known of the learning of
 158     Int,      IV     |              the learning of Lucullus is told in Cicero's dialogue,
 159     Int,      IV     |             philosophic tastes288. He is several times mentioned
 160     Int,      IV     |            very outset of the work it is shown to be not far distant
 161     Int,      IV     |              any of Cicero's writings is in itself sufficient to
 162     Int,      IV     |               his vast learning which is by [lxii] no means natural
 163     Int,      IV     |       Posteriora will show that there is no reason for accusing Cicero
 164     Int,      IV     |             old editions the Lucullus is marked throughout as Academicorum
 165     Int,      IV     |           Academicorum liber IV. This is an entire mistake, which
 166     Int,      IV     |            the first. One other thing is worth remark. Halm (as many
