C'est une etude pour laquelle les documents ne nous...

Son pere, qui n'avait eu toute sa vie d'autre souci que de s'enrichir, montra, comme il arrive, plus d'ambition pour son fils que pour lui-meme: il voulut qu'il devint un homme politique, et comme il voyait qu'on n'arrivait aux dignites que par l'eloquence, il l'amena de bonne heure a Ciceron, pour qu'il en fit, s'il etait possible, un grand orateur. Ce n'etait pas encore l'usage qu'on enfermat les jeunes gens dans les ecoles des...
