Cicero's Orations


Marcus Tullius Cicero - 1913
    The year of publication is a guess based on the other books with which the text was found. Much smaller than a typical Loeb edition, this book includes:-The four Orations Against L. Catilina-Defence of the Proposed Manilian Law-Oration for A.L. Archias-Oration for M.C. Marcellus-Oration in Defence of Quintus Ligarius

Our Little Athenian Cousin of Long Ago


Julia Darrow Cowles - 1913
    Through the eyes of Duris, son of the architect Phorion, and Hiero, son of the sculptor Hermippos, we experience the Greek culture of the times as we accompany them on their journey from home to market-place, wonder at the Acropolis, visit schools and studios, observe festivals, and participate in the Olympic games. Attractive black and white illustrations enliven the text. A volume in the Our Little Cousins of Long Ago series. Suitable for ages 8 and up.
