Title: Web-based reprint.
Product review: De Inventione is an early work by Cicero that he repudiated later in life, but it was influential for many centuries. Apparently the Loeb Library edition is out of print, so I tried this one. The Kessinger edition is just a reprint of a text available on the web. It is an 1888 translation by Charles Duke Yonge, but you have to search the web to find that out because this edition doesn't have any bibliographic information other than "translated by C.D. Yonge." There are two tables of contents for some reason, one with page numbers and one without. The first paragraph of each section is left justified, while all other paragraphs are fully justified. All in all, a fairly sloppy production job, perhaps done mostly by a machine. If you just want to read De Inventione, this edition is ok, but you could also just print out the web text. However, the paper and binding are ok for the price.
