MARCUS TULLIUS CICERO
(106-43 B. C. )
BY WILLIAM CRANSTON LAWTON
T
HE outward life, the political career, of Marcus Tullius Cicero,
is to nearly all students of history a tragic and pathetic
story. He seems peculiarly unfitted to the people and the
time in which his lot was cast. His enlightened love for the tradi-
tions of the past, his passionate sentiment of patriotism, his forceful
eloquence as a debater in the Senate or as an orator in the Forum,—
these qualities of a Burke or a Webster stand out violently dissevered
from the lurid history of his time. This humane scholarly life was
flung into the midst of the wildest century in all Rome's grim annals;
the hundred years of civic turmoil and bloodshed, from the elder
Gracchus's murder to the death of Cleopatra.
And yet such was the marvelous activity, the all-sided product-
iveness, of the Ciceronian intellect, that perhaps no human mind has
ever so fully exploited all its powers. Moreover, in each intellectual
field which he entered, the chances of time have removed nearly
every Roman rival, leaving us no choice save to accept Cicero's
guidance. There was many another orator, and history of eloquence.
There were other practical treatises on rhetoric. Many a notable
correspondence was actually preserved and published, though now
lost. Even his free transcriptions from Greek philosophical treatises —
hastily conned and perhaps imperfectly understood - have acquired,
through the disappearance of the Greek scrolls themselves, an ill-
deserved authority as to the tenets of the Epicurean and other
schools.
Before and above all else, Cicero was a pleader. Out of that
activity grew his ill-starred political activity, while his other literary
tastes were essentially but a solace in times of enforced retirement.
With the discussion of his oratory, therefore, we may best combine
a rapid outline of his life.
By their common birthplace, Arpinum, and by a slight tie of
kinship, Cicero was associated with Marius; and he began life, like
Disraeli, with radical sympathies. He was the elder son of a
wealthy Roman citizen, but no ancestor had ennobled the family by
attaining curule office. After a most thorough course of training in
Latin and Greek, Cicero began to "practice law. " The pleader in
ancient Rome was supposed to receive no fee, and even more than

MARCUS TULLIUS CICERO
with us, found his profession the natural stepping-stone to political
honors.
At the age of twenty-six, Cicero (in 80 B. C. ) defended his first
important client in a criminal case.

MARCUS TULLIUS CICERO
(106-43 B. C. )
BY WILLIAM CRANSTON LAWTON
T
HE outward life, the political career, of Marcus Tullius Cicero,
is to nearly all students of history a tragic and pathetic
story. He seems peculiarly unfitted to the people and the
time in which his lot was cast. His enlightened love for the tradi-
tions of the past, his passionate sentiment of patriotism, his forceful
eloquence as a debater in the Senate or as an orator in the Forum,—
these qualities of a Burke or a Webster stand out violently dissevered
from the lurid history of his time. This humane scholarly life was
flung into the midst of the wildest century in all Rome's grim annals;
the hundred years of civic turmoil and bloodshed, from the elder
Gracchus's murder to the death of Cleopatra.
And yet such was the marvelous activity, the all-sided product-
iveness, of the Ciceronian intellect, that perhaps no human mind has
ever so fully exploited all its powers. Moreover, in each intellectual
field which he entered, the chances of time have removed nearly
every Roman rival, leaving us no choice save to accept Cicero's
guidance. There was many another orator, and history of eloquence.
There were other practical treatises on rhetoric. Many a notable
correspondence was actually preserved and published, though now
lost. Even his free transcriptions from Greek philosophical treatises —
hastily conned and perhaps imperfectly understood - have acquired,
through the disappearance of the Greek scrolls themselves, an ill-
deserved authority as to the tenets of the Epicurean and other
schools.
Before and above all else, Cicero was a pleader. Out of that
activity grew his ill-starred political activity, while his other literary
tastes were essentially but a solace in times of enforced retirement.
With the discussion of his oratory, therefore, we may best combine
a rapid outline of his life.
By their common birthplace, Arpinum, and by a slight tie of
kinship, Cicero was associated with Marius; and he began life, like
Disraeli, with radical sympathies. He was the elder son of a
wealthy Roman citizen, but no ancestor had ennobled the family by
attaining curule office. After a most thorough course of training in
Latin and Greek, Cicero began to "practice law. " The pleader in
ancient Rome was supposed to receive no fee, and even more than

MARCUS TULLIUS CICERO
with us, found his profession the natural stepping-stone to political
honors.
At the age of twenty-six, Cicero (in 80 B. C. ) defended his first
important client in a criminal case. In the closing days of the Sul-
lan proscriptions, young Roscius, of Ameria in Umbria, was charged
with murdering his own father in Rome. A pair of Roscius's kins-
men were probably the real culprits, and had arranged with Chryso-
gonus, a wealthy freedman and favorite of the Dictator, to insert the
dead man's name among the outlawed victims and to divide the
confiscated estate. The son was persecuted because he resisted this
second outrage. Cicero says he is himself protected by his obscurity,
though no other advocate has dared to plead for the unlucky youth.
In our present text there are some audacious words aimed at Sulla's
own measures: they were probably sharpened in a later revision.
The case was won, against general expectation. Cicero may have
played the hero that day: certainly the brief remainder of Sulla's
life was spent by the young democratic pleader traveling in the
East,-"for his health," as Plutarch adds, truly enough. At this time
his style was chastened and his manner moderated by the teachers
of Athens, and especially by Molo in Rhodes.
Cicero's quæstorship was passed in Sicily, 75-4 B. C. Here he
knit close friendships with many Greek provincials, and did a credit-
able piece of archæological work by rediscovering Archimedes's tomb.
His impeachment of Verres for misgovernment in Sicily was in 70
B. C. This time the orator runs a less desperate risk. Since Sulla's
death the old constitution has languidly revived. Speech was com-
paratively free and safe. The "knights" or wealthy middle class,-
Cicero's own,-deprived by Sulla of the right to sit as the jurors in
impeachment trials like Verres's, partially regain the privilege in this
very year. The overwhelming mass of evidence made Verres flee
into exile, and Hortensius, till then leader of the Roman bar, threw
up the case in despair. Nevertheless Cicero published, the stately
series of orations he had prepared. They form the most vivid pic-
ture, and the deadliest indictments ever drawn, of Roman provincial
government,- and of a ruthless art-collector. Cicero instantly became
the foremost among lawyers. Moreover, this success made Cicero a
leader in the time of reaction after Sulla, and hastened his elevation
to posts where only men of sterner nature could be fully and per-
manently successful.
Pompey, born in the same year, was at this time leading the
revolt against Sulla's measures. The attachment now formed, the
warmer hearted Cicero never wholly threw off. The young general's
later foreign victories are nowhere so generously set forth as in
Cicero's too-rhetorical plea "for the Manilian Law," in 66 B. C.

HE outward life, the political career, of Marcus Tullius Cicero,
is to nearly all students of history a tragic and pathetic
story. He seems peculiarly unfitted to the people and the
time in which his lot was cast. His enlightened love for the tradi-
tions of the past, his passionate sentiment of patriotism, his forceful
eloquence as a debater in the Senate or as an orator in the Forum,—
these qualities of a Burke or a Webster stand out violently dissevered
from the lurid history of his time. This humane scholarly life was
flung into the midst of the wildest century in all Rome's grim annals;
the hundred years of civic turmoil and bloodshed, from the elder
Gracchus's murder to the death of Cleopatra.
And yet such was the marvelous activity, the all-sided product-
iveness, of the Ciceronian intellect, that perhaps no human mind has
ever so fully exploited all its powers. Moreover, in each intellectual
field which he entered, the chances of time have removed nearly
every Roman rival, leaving us no choice save to accept Cicero's
guidance. There was many another orator, and history of eloquence.
There were other practical treatises on rhetoric. Many a notable
correspondence was actually preserved and published, though now
lost. Even his free transcriptions from Greek philosophical treatises —
hastily conned and perhaps imperfectly understood - have acquired,
through the disappearance of the Greek scrolls themselves, an ill-
deserved authority as to the tenets of the Epicurean and other
schools.
Before and above all else, Cicero was a pleader. Out of that
activity grew his ill-starred political activity, while his other literary
tastes were essentially but a solace in times of enforced retirement.
With the discussion of his oratory, therefore, we may best combine
a rapid outline of his life.
By their common birthplace, Arpinum, and by a slight tie of
kinship, Cicero was associated with Marius; and he began life, like
Disraeli, with radical sympathies. He was the elder son of a
wealthy Roman citizen, but no ancestor had ennobled the family by
attaining curule office. After a most thorough course of training in
Latin and Greek, Cicero began to "practice law. " The pleader in
ancient Rome was supposed to receive no fee, and even more than

with us, found his profession the natural stepping-stone to political
honors.
At the age of twenty-six, Cicero (in 80 B. C. ) defended his first
important client in a criminal case.

MARCUS TULLIUS CICERO
(106-43 B. C. )
BY WILLIAM CRANSTON LAWTON
T
HE outward life, the political career, of Marcus Tullius Cicero,
is to nearly all students of history a tragic and pathetic
story. He seems peculiarly unfitted to the people and the
time in which his lot was cast. His enlightened love for the tradi-
tions of the past, his passionate sentiment of patriotism, his forceful
eloquence as a debater in the Senate or as an orator in the Forum,—
these qualities of a Burke or a Webster stand out violently dissevered
from the lurid history of his time. This humane scholarly life was
flung into the midst of the wildest century in all Rome's grim annals;
the hundred years of civic turmoil and bloodshed, from the elder
Gracchus's murder to the death of Cleopatra.
And yet such was the marvelous activity, the all-sided product-
iveness, of the Ciceronian intellect, that perhaps no human mind has
ever so fully exploited all its powers. Moreover, in each intellectual
field which he entered, the chances of time have removed nearly
every Roman rival, leaving us no choice save to accept Cicero's
guidance. There was many another orator, and history of eloquence.
There were other practical treatises on rhetoric. Many a notable
correspondence was actually preserved and published, though now
lost. Even his free transcriptions from Greek philosophical treatises —
hastily conned and perhaps imperfectly understood - have acquired,
through the disappearance of the Greek scrolls themselves, an ill-
deserved authority as to the tenets of the Epicurean and other
schools.
Before and above all else, Cicero was a pleader. Out of that
activity grew his ill-starred political activity, while his other literary
tastes were essentially but a solace in times of enforced retirement.
With the discussion of his oratory, therefore, we may best combine
a rapid outline of his life.
By their common birthplace, Arpinum, and by a slight tie of
kinship, Cicero was associated with Marius; and he began life, like
Disraeli, with radical sympathies. He was the elder son of a
wealthy Roman citizen, but no ancestor had ennobled the family by

Latin and Greek, Cicero began to "practice law. " The pleader in

MARCUS TULLIUS CICERO
with us, found his profession the natural stepping-stone to political
honors.
At the age of twenty-six, Cicero (in 80 B. C. ) defended his first
important client in a criminal case. In the closing days of the Sul-
lan proscriptions, young Roscius, of Ameria in Umbria, was charged
with murdering his own father in Rome. A pair of Roscius's kins-
men were probably the real culprits, and had arranged with Chryso-
gonus, a wealthy freedman and favorite of the Dictator, to insert the
dead man's name among the outlawed victims and to divide the
confiscated estate. The son was persecuted because he resisted this
second outrage. Cicero says he is himself protected by his obscurity,
though no other advocate has dared to plead for the unlucky youth.
In our present text there are some audacious words aimed at Sulla's
own measures: they were probably sharpened in a later revision.
The case was won, against general expectation. Cicero may have
played the hero that day: certainly the brief remainder of Sulla's
life was spent by the young democratic pleader traveling in the
East,-"for his health," as Plutarch adds, truly enough. At this time
his style was chastened and his manner moderated by the teachers
of Athens, and especially by Molo in Rhodes.
Cicero's quæstorship was passed in Sicily, 75-4 B. C. Here he
knit close friendships with many Greek provincials, and did a credit-
able piece of archæological work by rediscovering Archimedes's tomb.
His impeachment of Verres for misgovernment in Sicily was in 70
B. C. This time the orator runs a less desperate risk. Since Sulla's
death the old constitution has languidly revived. Speech was com-
paratively free and safe. The "knights" or wealthy middle class,-
Cicero's own,-deprived by Sulla of the right to sit as the jurors in
impeachment trials like Verres's, partially regain the privilege in this
very year. The overwhelming mass of evidence made Verres flee
into exile, and Hortensius, till then leader of the Roman bar, threw
up the case in despair. Nevertheless Cicero published, the stately
series of orations he had prepared. They form the most vivid pic-
ture, and the deadliest indictments ever drawn, of Roman provincial
government,- and of a ruthless art-collector. Cicero instantly became
the foremost among lawyers. Moreover, this success made Cicero a
leader in the time of reaction after Sulla, and hastened his elevation
to posts where only men of sterner nature could be fully and per-
manently successful.
Pompey, born in the same year, was at this time leading the
revolt against Sulla's measures. The attachment now formed, the
warmer hearted Cicero never wholly threw off. The young general's
later foreign victories are nowhere so generously set forth as in
Cicero's too-rhetorical plea "for the Manilian Law," in 66 B. C.
