'Will long remain not only the standard commentary on this work, but an indespensable aid to every student of Cicero. Nisbet's choice of the neglected In Pisonem was a happy one ... If Nisbet's treatment of textual matters deserves the highest praise, scarcely less admirable is the lucid conciseness of his explanatory notes.' Journal of Roman Studies

''The standard work for many years to come' was the prediction made when R. G. M. Nisbet's edition of Cicero, in L. Calpurnium Pisonem Oratio was originally reviewed in this journal ... the accuracy of this opinion has been confirmed by reprints in 1974 and 1975 and now in 1987 by an Oxford paperback.'
