About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Cicero and the Fall of the Roman Republic by James Leigh Strachan-Davidson. Read in English by Ann Boulais. "The purpose of this volume is to tell the story of Cicero's life, and at the same time to set forth from his writings a presentation of the concluding age of the Roman Republic, and to record the disastrous but not inglorious failure of the last Free State of the ancient world. So far as may be, I propose to let Cicero himself to speak to my readers."
