"Marcus Tullius Cicero. M. T. Cicero’s Cato Major, or, His Discourse of Old-Age.
Translated by James Logan. Philadelphia: Benjamin Franklin, 1744.
This is the first translation of a classical Latin text published in English in the
American colonies. It was also Benjamin Franklin’s (1706–90) personal favorite
among the books he printed. Moreover, Franklin’s edition of Cicero’s Cato Major is considered to be the finest example of American colonial printing.
