Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from De Amicitia
So far we have dealt with Cicero's speeches and his rhetorical and philosophical works. We must also mention (1) his Letters, of which he wrote a vast number, and of which nearly 800 are preserved; (2) his Poetical Works, which were very poor in quality though not small in quantity - his chief poem was written on the subject of his consulship; and (3) his Historical and Miscellaneous Works, e.g. A prose account of his consulship, an account of his policy immediately previous to his consulship, etc.
