The present work was no doubt intended to be something more than the customary laudatio which was pronounced in memory of an eminent man, though its style, resembling that of the orator rather than the historian, shows it to have been of a kindred character. We find in it the flower of all the beauties which Tacitus has scattered through his other works. It is a chef-d'oeuvre, which satisfies at once the judgment and the fancy, the imagination and the heart. Everything in it produces attachment for its hero; everything conveys instruction and the interest goes on growing to the last.
