Johnson's observations on Addison's writings may be well applied to those of Cicero, who would have been eminently successful in short miscellaneous essays, like those of the Spectator, had the manners of the age allowed it. Orat iii. 4; Tusc. Quæst. ii. 3; de Off. i. 1. Paradox. præfat. Quinct. Instit. xii. 2. Article, Plato, in the Encyclopædia Metropolitana. Acad.
Quæst. i. 27; de Div. ii. 72; pro Milon. 31; de Legg. ii. 7. Fragm. de Rep. 3; Tusc. Quæst. i. 29. Tusc. Quæst. i. passim; de Senect. 21, 22; Somn. Scip. 8. De Div. i. 32, 49; Fragm. de Consolat. Tusc. Quæst. i. 30; Som. Scip. 9; de Legg. ii. 11. De Amic. 4; de Off. iii. 28; pro Cluent. 61; de Legg. ii. 17: Tusc. Quæst. i. 11; pro Sext. 21; de Nat. Deor. i. 17. De Senect. 23.
FUIT UT ABSTERSERIT: the sequence of tenses fuit ut abstergeret would have been equally admissible, but the meaning would have been slightly different. Tusc. 3, 43 luctum omnem absterseris. With this statement of Cicero's concerning the effect the work had on himself contrast Att. 14, 21, 3 legendus mihi saepius est Cato maior ad te missus. Amariorem enim me senectus facit. Stomachor omnia.
He studied with Zeno of Sidon, to whom Cicero also listened in 78, a masterful teacher whose followers and pupils, Demetrius, Phaedrus, Patro, probably also Siro, and of course Philodemus, captured a large part of the most influential Romans for the sect. Cic. Tusc.
Therefore one ought to take a little heed not to call that force which is only a pretty knack of writing, and that solid which is only sharp, or that good which is only fine: "Quae magis gustata quam potata, delectant," Cicero, Tusc. everything that pleases does not nourish: "Ubi non ingenii, sed animi negotium agitur."
IV. SED ... ARBITRARENTUR: these words are almost exactly repeated in Tusc. 1, 89 and 101. RUSTICI: cf. Arch. 24 nostri illi fortes viri sed rustici ac milites; also above, 24. OMNINO: see n. on 9. NUM IGITUR etc.: cf. 33 nisi forte et seq. CONSTANS: cf. n. on 33. NE ... QUIDEM: see n. on 27.
Cicero, Tusc. I happened to come by one day accidentally at Rome, just as they were upon executing Catena, a notorious robber: he was strangled without any emotion of the spectators, but when they came to cut him in quarters, the hangman gave not a blow that the people did not follow with a doleful cry and exclamation, as if every one had lent his sense of feeling to the miserable carcase.
The Egyptians asked if the citizens of Elis were allowed to contend, and, on hearing that they were, declared it was impossible they should not favour their own countrymen, and consequently that the games must lead to injustice a suspicion not verified. Cic. Quaest. Tusc., II, 17. He obtained other prizes in other Grecian games, and even contended with the heralds as a crier.
Pro Arch. 11, 12, ad Fam. v. 21, vi. 21. He seems to have fallen into some misconceptions of Aristotle's meaning. De Invent. i. 35, 36, ii. 14; see Quinct. Inst. v. 14. De Invent. i. 7, ii. 51, et passim; ad. Fam. i. 9; de Orat. ii. 36. De Off. i. 1; de Fin. iv. 5. De Fin. ii. 21, iii. 1; de Legg. i. 13; de Orat. iii. 17; ad Fam. xiii. 1; pro Sext. 10. De Nat. Deor. i. 4; Tusc.
De Or. 1, 34 pergite, ut facitis, adulescentes. In Tusc. 2, 62 it is stated that Africanus was a great reader of Xenophon. LIBRO QUI EST DE: so in Fat. 1 libris qui sunt de natura deorum, and similarly elsewhere; but the periphrasis is often avoided, as in Off. 2, 16 Dicaearchi liber de interitu hominum.
