The subjects covered in the book are rather haphazard. The book tries to cove a wide range of topics with less detail than I would have preferred. The book itself is organized as a collection of several essays which have little to do with each other.

Frank Frost Abbott (1860-1924), classical scholar and professor of Latin at the University of Chicago and Princeton University, authored numerous books on Roman history and government, several of which have remained in print. Selected Letters of Cicero" was first published in 1897.
