PREFACE.

In preparing this annotated edition of Cicero's great orations against Catiline, the Actio Prima against Verres, and his defence of his friend and preceptor Archias the poet, the editor has consulted the best and most recent English commentators, and the invaluable works of Nizolius (Lexicon Ciceronianum), Orelli (Onomasticum Tullianum), of Teuffel, of Professor Halm, Dr. Mommsen, and Dr. Nägelsbach.
