What reading level is Life of Marcus Tullius Cicero 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Sometimes he went too far, and in his anxiety to prevent a rupture and con- ciliate the knights, he defended them in cases where he knew and confessed that they were wrong. He seems to have acted here on the dangerous principle that the end justifies the means, and to have advo- cated or opposed measures, not because they were right or wrong in themselves, but because he feared that their rejection or adoption would irritate the equestrian body.
Aftier the scandalous acquittal of Clodius the Se...nate most properly resolved that an inquiry should take place as to the alleged corruption of the jury. The judices were composed of three classes : — 1. Senators; 2. Knights; and 3. Tribuni JErariL Such an in- quiry, therefore, was directed quite as much against the Senate as the Knights, and conveyed no imputa- tion upon the one more than the other ; yet, strange to say, the Knights took ofience at the proposal, and Manutius assigns for this the extraordinary reason that they did not consider themselves within the purview of the law which made it punishable for jurymen to take bribes.^ As if they could set up the disgraceful privilege of being entitled to violate the plainest principles of morality and justice!
