Excerpt from A New and General Biographical Dictionary, Vol. 4: Containing an Historical and Critical Account of the Lives and Writings of the Most Eminent Persons in Every Nation; Particularly the British and Irish; From the Earliest Accounts of Time to the Present Period
Ioero (marcus tullius), was one of the greateft men of antiquity, whether we confider him asan orator, a. flatefman, or a philofopher. He was born Jan. 3, in the 647th year of Rome, about 107 years before Chrif't. His mother's name was Helvia, who was rich and well defcended. As to his father's family, nothing was delivered of it but in extremes: which is not to be wondered at in the hiftory of a man, whofe life was fo expofed to envy', as Cicero's, and who fell a viétim at laft to the power of his enemies. Some derive his defcent from kings, others from mechanics: but the truth, as it commonly happens in fnch cafes, lay between both: for his family, though it had never borne any of the great offices of the republic, was yet very ancient and honourable; of principal dil'tinétion and nobi lity in that part of Italy in which it refided; and,of equei'trian tank, from its firl't admiflion to the freedom of Rome. The place of his birth was Arpinum; a city! Anciently of the Sam nites, now part of the kingdom of Naples. It had the honour alfo of producing the great C. Marius -which gave occafion to Pompey to:fay in a public fpeech, that, Rome was indebted to this corporation for two citizens, who had, each in his turn, pre ferved it from ruin. The territory of Arpinum was rude and mountainous, to which Cicero applies Homer's defcriptioniof Ithaca i 'tis rough indeed, yet breeds a generous race.
