Desiderius Erasmus  : Ciceronianus

'[letter from Johnson to Dr Brocklesby] Tell Dr. Heberden, that in the coach I read "Ciceronianus" which I concluded as I entered Lichfield. My affection and understanding went along with Erasmus, except that once or twice he somewhat unskilfully entangles Cicero's civil or moral, with his rhetorical, character'.

Century: 1700-1799     Reader/Listener/Group: Samuel Johnson      Print: Book
