[pg 1] THE ROMAN TRAITOR:

OR

THE DAYS OF CICERO, CATO AND CATALINE.


A TRUE TALE OF THE REPUBLIC.


BY HENRY WILLIAM HERBERT
AUTHOR OF "CROMWELL," "MARMADUKE WYVIL," "BROTHERS," ETC.



Why not a Borgia or a Catiline?—Pope.



VOLUME II.


This is one of the most powerful Roman stories in the English language, and is of itself sufficient to stamp the writer as a powerful man. The dark intrigues of

Page 2
the days which Cæsar, Sallust and Cicero made illustrious; when Cataline defied and almost defeated the Senate; when the plots which ultimately overthrew the Roman Republic were being formed, are described in a masterly manner. The book deserves a permanent position by the side of the great Bellum Catalinarium of Sallust, and if we mistake not will not fail to occupy a prominent place among those produced in America.
