  1     Ded         |               THOSE OF HIS PUPILS~WHO HAVE READ WITH HIM~THE ACADEMICA,~
  2     Pre         |               and Cambridge. My notes have been written throughout
  3     Pre         |            last three or four years I have read the Academica with

  5     Pre         |           evidence he presents; and I have also studied all original
  6     Pre         |              In a very few passages I have introduced emendations of
  7     Pre         |           criticism, I may say that I have done so from a conviction
  8     Pre         |               rest on memory alone. I have therefore done my best to

 10     Pre         |       acquaintance than they ought to have with the peculiarities and
 11     Pre         |              Latin writers display. I have striven to guide them to

 13     Pre         |        Wherever a quotation would not have been given but for its appearance
 14     Pre         |      appearance in some other work, I have pointed out the authority
 15     Pre         |         subject for the first time. I have therefore tried to enable
 16     Pre         |         information they require, and have only dwelt in my own language
 17     Pre         |             the Universities ought to have constantly at hand Diogenes

 23     Int,       I|           virilis. The pupil seems to have been converted at once to
 24     Int,       I|          study, but he seems never to have been much attracted by the
 25     Int,       I| inconsiderable property.7 He seems to have been one of the most accomplished [
 26     Int,       I|              to conclude that he must have become thoroughly acquainted
 27     Int,       I|              Cicero must at this time have attained an almost complete
 28     Int,       I|              doctrines.~There seem to have been no eminent representatives
 29     Int,       I|           whose lectures Cicero might have attended, though M. Pupius
 30     Int,       I|             teacher, however, I shall have to treat later, when I shall

 32     Int,       I|           former, he does not seem to have known either personally. ~
 33     Int,       I|           period then, about which we have little or no information,
 34     Int,       I|         entreating Atticus to let him have a library which was then
 35     Int,       I|              lack of leisure seems to have caused an almost unquenchable
 36     Int,       I|              lived48. Cicero seems to have been somewhat disappointed
 37     Int,       I|       Mitylene, where Cicero seems to have passed some time in his
 38     Int,       I|             elsewhere, was written.~I have now finished the first portion
 39     Int,       I|           first portion of my task; I have shown Cicero as the man
 40     Int,       I|        Academica. Even the evidence I have produced, which does not
 41     Int,       I|            edition allow it, I should have little difficulty in showing
 42     Int,       I|             Academica is concerned, I have had in my notes an opportunity
 43     Int,       I|         progress of this work I shall have to expose the groundlessness
 44     Int,       I|           judgments now current which have contributed to produce a
 45     Int,       I|              unfairness which I shall have no better opportunity of
 46     Int,       I|              politician. Scholars who have learned to despise his political

 49     Int,      II|             an ethical standard71. We have in the Academica Cicero'
 50     Int,      II|  self-controlled character76. Here we have a touch of feeling thoroughly
 51     Int,      II|              sense of the world could have most sympathy92. The Academy
 52     Int,      II|           heart that Carneades should have found it necessary to oppose
 53     Int,     III|          largely to the want, which I have already noticed, of any
 54     Int,     III|              wrote, originality would have been looked upon as a fault
 55     Int,     III|               language may be said to have been destitute of a philosophical
 56     Int,     III|         popular taste. There seems to have been a very large Epicurean
 57     Int,     III|          write, and his books seem to have had an enormous circulation114.
 58     Int,     III|          passage seems to allow, must have been of little real importance.

 62     Int,      IV|           scholars, including Madvig, have understood that the first
 63     Int,      IV|             conjecture is correct, we have in the disputed passage
 64     Int,      IV|             before the De Finibus, to have become known to a tolerably
 65     Int,      IV|        conjecture, except the doubt I have expressed as to the use
 66     Int,      IV|     Hortensius and the Academica must have been more closely connected,
 67     Int,      IV|              Academica to Rome165. We have a mention that new prooemia
 68     Int,      IV|               Arpinum168. He seems to have been still unsatisfied with
 69     Int,      IV|           their acquaintance seems to have been chiefly maintained
 70     Int,      IV|                shows that there could have been little of anything
 71     Int,      IV|            that they could never even have dreamed of the doctrines
 72     Int,      IV|               he would probably again have changed his plans. Nearly
 73     Int,      IV|                 Atticus would seem to have repeatedly communicated
 74     Int,      IV|       communicated with Varro, and to have assured Cicero that there
 75     Int,      IV|        strange that Cicero should not have entered into correspondence
 76     Int,      IV|           himself. Etiquette seems to have required that the recipient

 85     Int,      IV|               father and son we shall have little to do. I merely inquire
 86     Int,      IV|              Cicero would, doubtless, have preferred to introduce the
 87     Int,      IV|             Oratore, the author would have been [xlv] compelled to
 88     Int,      IV|      Antiochus, which he professes to have heard210. For the arrangement
 89     Int,      IV|              or else Cicero could not have made Catulus the younger
 90     Int,      IV|             been so unfortunate as to have two bad consuls in the same
 91     Int,      IV|            Cinna held the office, may have been intended to point a
 92     Int,      IV|            two Catuli225.~[xlvii] ~We have seen that when Cicero found
 93     Int,      IV|               in such matters, we can have no difficulty in conjecturing
 94     Int,      IV|              Sidon241. Still it might have been concluded that he was
 95     Int,      IV|              shows that Catulus could have had no leaning towards the
 96     Int,      IV|           Academics, Cicero would not have failed to tell us, as he
 97     Int,      IV|         between Philo and Catulus can have taken place, although one
 98     Int,      IV|            portion of the speech must have been directed against the
 99     Int,      IV|             the speech, however, must have consisted of a defence of
100     Int,      IV|             aimed at Cicero, who must have represented it in the discourse
101     Int,      IV|            himself. These conjectures have the advantage of establishing
102     Int,      IV|         substance of the speech could have been assigned in the first
103     Int,      IV|           already made. On the view I have taken, there would be little
104     Int,      IV|              a historical résumé as I have supposed Hortensius to give
105     Int,      IV|             To any such conversion we have nowhere else any allusion.~
106     Int,      IV|             mention here. He seems to have been as nearly innocent
107     Int,      IV|           historical summary. He must have dealt with the theory of

110     Int,      IV|                Consequently Cato must have taken the comparatively
111     Int,      IV|             much that philosopher may have borrowed from Zeno. The
112     Int,      IV|           Antiochean as Brutus cannot have been reduced to the comparatively
113     Int,      IV|         letters. He seems at least to have dallied with culture, although
114     Int,      IV|             Greek artists. Yet, as we have already seen, Cicero acknowledged
115     Int,      IV|          speech of Lucullus was, as I have said, mainly a reply to
116     Int,      IV|            other persons with whom we have had to deal. He was nephew

120     Int,      IV|           Cicero and Varro do seem to have been drawn a little closer

172     Not,       1|           Stoic. This statement might have been made both by Aristotle
