The history of the life of Marcus Tullius Cicero

Middleton, Conyers

London : W. Innys and R. Manby, 1742.

Conyers Middleton was an outspoken librarian at the University of Cambridge and prolific writer. This biography on Cicero’s life is unique because it draws from a rare text by William Bellenden on ancient Rome and from Cicero’s own writings. Cicero being a prolific mind, orator and statesman makes an excellent biographee in this work commissioned by John Hervey, 2nd Baron Hervey.
