About this book

Cicero's dialogue on government survives only in fragments, and this New York volume of 1829 is a translation from the Latin by G. W. Featherstonhaugh, who knew of no earlier English version. A critical and historical introduction comes first, then the five books. Much of the surviving text comes from a palimpsest in the Vatican, shown in a facsimile frontispiece. For Cicero, a republic is a people joined together to defend and advance their common interest. The translator, a Fellow of the Geological Society of London, dedicates the volume to his friend Roderick Impey Murchison.
