In a letter to John Wayles Eppes dated from Monticello January 17, 1810, Jefferson wrote: “
. . . the models for that oratory which is to produce the greatest effect by securing the attention of hearers & readers,
are to be found in Livy, Tacitus, Sallust, & most assuredly not in Cicero. I doubt if there is a man in the world who can
now read one of his orations through but as a piece of task-work . . .
”
William Guthrie, 1708-1770, Scottish writer. His first edition of the Orations was published in 1741.
