Excerpt from The Orations of Marcus Tullius Cicero, Vol. 2: Containing the Three Orations on the Agrarian Law, the Four Against Catiline, the Orations for Rabirius, Murena, Sylla, Archias, Flaccus, Scaurus, &C. &C One thing, 0 Lucius Quintius, I should wish to obtain from you, which, although I desire because it is useful for me, stil. I request of you because it is reasonable and just, - that yet would regulate the time that you take to yourself for Speak ing, so as to leave the judges some time for coming to a deci sion. For the time before, there was no end to your speech in his defence night alone set bounds to your oration. Now, if you please, do not do the same 5 this I beg of you. Nor do I beg it on this account, because I think it desirable for me that you should pass over some topics, or that you should fail to state them with sufficient elegance, and at sufficient length; but because I do think it enough for you to state each fact only once. And if you do that, I have no fear that the whole day will be taken up in talking. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
