                                   OR

                 THE DAYS OF CICERO, CATO AND CATALINE.

                       Why not a Borgia or a Catiline?—POPE.





VOLUME II.



          This is one of the most powerful Roman stories  in  the  English
          language,  and  is of itself sufficient to stamp the writer as a
          powerful man. The  dark  intrigues  of  the  days  which  Cæsar,
          Sallust  and  Cicero  made illustrious; when Cataline defied and
          almost defeated the Senate;  when  the  plots  which  ultimately
          overthrew the Roman Republic were being formed, are described in
          a masterly manner. The book deserves a permanent position by the
          side  of  the  great _Bellum Catalinarium_ of Sallust, and if we
          mistake not will not fail to  occupy  a  prominent  place  among
          those produced in America.
