In the year a.u.c. 708, and the sixty-second year of Cicero's age, his daughter, Tullia, died in childbed; and her loss afflicted Cicero to such a degree that he abandoned all public business, and, leaving the city, retired to Asterra, which was a country house that he had near Antium; where, after a while, he devoted himself to philosophical studies, and, besides other works, he published his Treatise de Finibus, and also this treatise called the Tusculan Disputations, of which Middleton gives this concise description: The first book teaches us how to contemn the terrors of death, and to look upon it as a blessing rather than an evil; The second, to support pain and affliction with a manly fortitude; The third, to appease all our complaints and uneasinesses under the accidents of life; The fourth, to moderate all our other passions; And the fifth explains the sufficiency of virtue to make men happy.
