Excerpt from Laelius De Amicitia For the text of this edition, I have endeavored to utilize the critical material that has appeared since the publication of Muller's edition (Leipsic, 1879). In the commentary the aim has been to give only such information as the student needs for an adequate understanding of the text. All discussion of moot points, whether of text or interpretation, has been relegated to a Critical Appendix. In the preparation of the notes I have been especially aided by the excellent commentaries of Reid, Strelitz, and Meissner. To Professor Pease, Professor Alfred Gudeman, of the University of Pennsylvania, Professor H. C. Elmer, and Mr. Chas. L. Durham, of Cornell University, I wish also to extend acknowledgment for valuable assistance and advice. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
